Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Jan. 22, 2021 – In preparation for its U.S. #racing debut, the brand-new #hyundai #elantrantcr race car was unveiled yesterday by #bryanhertaautosport at #Daytona International Raceway. Already in the Winners Circle, the Elantra N TCR’s road-going sister car, the 2021 Elantra was just named the 2021 North American Car of the Year™, one of the industry’s highest accolades.

Since their #racing debut in 2018 with #bryanhertaautosport (BHA), #hyundai has dominated the North American Touring Car scene. Having won three back-to-back TCR championships and the 2020 Manufacturers title, #hyundai Motor America has high expectations for the new two-liter turbocharged #elantrantcr.

“The all-new #elantrantcr car is an exciting addition to Hyundai’s formidable TCR lineup,” said #bryanherta. “We are proud to be providing this new challenger it’s track debut. I am confident the #elantrantcr will be fast and fun to drive as you would expect from a #hyundai N.”

Racing in the North America premier TCR category, the #imsamichelinpilotchallenge, BHA will enter a pair of #elantrantcr entries: Mark Wilkins and Harry Gottsacker in the #33 #elantrantcr and Ryan Norman and Parker Chase driving the #98 #elantrantcr.

The #hyundai Veloster N TCR returns with majority in the IMPC TCR category with 9 cars entered. BHA drivers Michael Lewis and Taylor Hagler showed off the 2021 Veloster N TCR model at today’s unveiling.

The #imsamichelinpilotchallenge will kick off its 2021 10 race championship with an intense 4-hour battle on the “Roval” at #Daytona, January 29th. The 3.56-mile track challenges the car and driver with 12 turns on the tight and twisty infield road course and 31 degrees of banking on the oval sections of America’s most famous speedway. 

Watch the race live on NBC Gold’s TrackPass, Friday, January 29th at 1:30 pm ET.  Live audio and timing and scoring are available at IMSA.com.
