Hyundai Team Principal Cyril Abiteboul acknowledges there is still work to do to be a “constant contender against Toyota” despite finishing second and fourth at last week’s Secto Rally Finland.

Toyota Gazoo Racing’s Elfyn Evans has said ten fastest stage times en route to a comprehensive victory at Secto Rally Finland with team-mate Scott Martin was something that “came naturally” to him.

Title chasing Thierry Neuville says that he is prepared to go all-in for victory over the closing two days of Secto Rally Finland.

The quick turnaround between rounds eight and nine of the World Rally Championship means Hyundai is unlikely “to make huge strides” against Toyota, despite a recent noticeable improvement in its gravel speed.   

Title chasing Thierry Neuville says he knows better than most just how important a podium finish on Rally Finland this week could prove in his on-going pursuit of defending World Champion Kalle Rovanpera.

Toyota’s dominance at Rally Estonia should be used as “inspiration” by everyone connected with Hyundai Motorsport’s World Rally Championship programme, its Team Principal has said.

Kalle Rovanpera’s quest for a third straight Rally Estonia victory got off to the ideal start this morning as he went quickest on the shakedown stage alongside Jonne Halttunen.

Hyundai Motorsport will celebrate a decade since its inception by taking its trophy-winning rally and circuit cars to this week’s Goodwood Festival of Speed (July 13-16).

Thierry Neuville has said adopting a risk averse approach to secure his first win of the 2023 season on Rally Italia Sardegna was not an option because slower speeds amounts to a “horrible” feeling.

The first chapter of a new FIA-led initiative that is designed to unearth the next generation of rally champions has been deemed a huge success by the individual who has been tasked with overseeing its smooth operation.

Esapekka Lappi led a Hyundai Motorsport one-two on this morning’s Rally Italia Sardegna shakedown stage from Thierry Neuville in the second i20 N Rally1.

Ott Tanak has spoken publicly for the first time about how difficult it will be competing at Croatia Rally this weekend following the sudden death of Craig Breen in the country last week.

The entire Hyundai Motorsport team is “on a mission” to preserve their strong record on gravel as the FIA World Rally Championship makes its way to WRC Guanajuato Rally Mexico next week.

New Hyundai Motorsport recruit Esapekka Lappi reckons he is ahead of the curve with the new I20 N Rally1 car as the clock counts down to the start of the 2023 FIA World Rally Championship. 

Hyundai’s number one driver Thierry Neuville is anticipating a more level playing field ahead of the new FIA World Rally Championship season getting underway at Rallye Monte-Carlo next weekend.

Thierry Neuville believes the shrewd business Hyundai Motorsport bosses have performed in the driver market should help give the team “renewed impetus” to fight on all fronts next season.

Hyundai Motorsport has announced its new-look driver line-up for next season’s World Rally Championship, with Esapekka Lappi and Craig Breen agreeing personal terms to join its ranks.

Rally Japan winner Thierry Neuville hopes his victory can provide a “special boost” to those working on Hyundai’s World Rally Championship programme after a difficult start to life in the sport’s new hybrid era.

Julien Moncet – Hyundai Motorsport’s Deputy Team Director – is predicting an “exciting” finale to Rally Japan, the concluding round of the 2022 FIA World Rally Championship campaign.

A Hyundai victory on the season-ending Rally Japan would be the “spark” the Alzenau-based team needs looking ahead to the 2023 World Rally Championship campaign.

Former World Rally champion Ott Tanak will leave Hyundai Motorsport at the end of the season, it has been confirmed.

Finland’s 20-year wait for a new World Rally champion was ended by Kalle Rovanpera as he cruised to victory on the final day of Repco Rally New Zealand.

On a day that produced plenty of drama and no fewer than three different leaders, it was Ott Tanak who ended the Friday leg of Repco Rally New Zealand at the top of the time sheets.

World Rally Championship leader Kalle Rovanpera threw down the gauntlet to his Rally1 rivals on the short Repco Rally New Zealand shakedown stage.
