Hyundai N Rules the Ring (Again!)

Hyundai N Scores Fifth Straight TCR Win at Nürburgring 24-Hour Endurance Race

Hyundai’s N performance division added another big win to its motorsports résumé, clinching a fifth consecutive TCR class victory at the 2025 ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring endurance race. The event, held on June 21–22 in Germany, also marked Hyundai N’s 10th straight year competing at one of the world’s toughest racing circuits.

Two ELANTRA N TCR cars took the track in the TCR class and swept the podium with a dominant 1-2 finish. Hyundai’s ELANTRA N1 Cup car, meanwhile, made its debut in the SP3T category but had to retire after 17 hours due to a rear-end collision.

Marc Basseng, Manuel Lauck, and Christer Joens piloted ELANTRA N #1 to first place, while North America’s Bryson Morris, Michael Louis, Mason Filippi, and Robert Wickens followed closely in ELANTRA N #2. Wickens’ return was especially emotional—driving with hand controls, the Canadian paraplegic racer showed once again why he’s one of the sport’s most inspiring figures.

“This is more than just a win. It’s a symbol of what the N brand stands for—resilience, performance, and passion,” said Joon Park, Vice President and Head of N Brand Management Group.

Hyundai’s continued presence at Nürburgring not only proves its endurance but also feeds critical data into the development of its production N vehicles. The 25.378-kilometer “Green Hell” remains the ultimate testing ground, and Hyundai is making the most of it.

For this year’s race, Hyundai even shared paddock space with Toyota, continuing a spirit of motorsports collaboration first seen in Korea at the 2024 Hyundai N x Toyota Gazoo Racing Festival. It’s a rare sight to see two fierce rivals team up, but on the Nürburgring stage, it was all about pushing the envelope together.
