(May 28, 2019) Hyundai Motor is inviting 300 enthusiasts from countries that sell N vehicles for an exclusive hospitality experience at the 2019 Nürburgring 24 Hours Race. Participants can expect to enjoy a driving academy, helicopter tour and a display of Hyundai N models. Hyundai has been participating in the Nürburgring 24 Hours Race since 2016, and is celebrating its return to where the brand was born with a series of special events under the banner "N Homecoming."

The ‘N’ in N brand stands for Namyang, home to the automaker’s global R&D Center in Korea, where the idea was born, and for the Nürburgring, home to the 3,600-square-meter Hyundai Motor European Test Center, where Hyundai N models are developed and tested.

Visitors to the Nürburgring 24 Hours Race can learn more about Hyundai N with the fan truck, which will provide a range of information and facts about the brand. Meanwhile, a promotional booth in Ring Boulevard will showcase models of the Hyundai i20 WRC rally car, the i30 N TCR and the i30 Fastback N in front of a wall that explains Hyundai N’s motorsport history. Customers will be able to purchase a range of N-branded products, ranging from caps to jackets and t-shirts.

In addition, Hyundai is offering 300 N customers a once-in-a-lifetime N hospitality experience. N enthusiasts will gain valuable driving skills from instructors in an exclusive driving academy.

Fifty-five guests will then be selected for N Corso, where they will drive one lap of the circuit before the main Nürburgring 24 Hours Race event begins. Meanwhile, special guests will also have the opportunity to embark on a guided pit box tour of the team areas, as well as a helicopter tour, which will offer a stunning bird’s-eye-view of the Nürburgring track during the race.

“We’re delighted to offer our customers the chance to experience ‘N Homecoming’, a unique once-in-a-lifetime hospitality at this year’s Nürburgring 24 Hours race,” says Thomas Schemera, executive vice president and head of Product Division, Product Operation & N Sub-Division at Hyundai Motor Group.

“This event is one of the highlights of the Hyundai motorsport calendar, and made all the more special by the fact that the N brand was born and honed here. This event will serve as a celebration of the Hyundai N brand.”
