MOTUL Course de Monterey powered by Hyundai N
Coronavirus pandemic. To be eligible to compete, all four Hyundai BHA drivers were required to participate in informative classes, Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS) races and a specific qualifying race ahead of their entry into the ADAC TotalEnergies 24 Hour event. Within the required NLS races, all four drivers will pilot a Hyundai i30 N street car featuring only slightly modified safety equipment in co- driver pairings of Hagler and Lewis then Gottsacker and Filippi. Given the eligibility requirements, the drivers have had to make six trips to Germany leading up to the start of the Nürburgring 24 Hours weekend. BHA’s drivers will be making a quick transition from their regular duties in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge events to travel to Germany for their upcoming NLS races. Immediately after the checkered flag waves here at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca the team will depart one last time to compete in the Nürburgring 24 Hours.
Expanding on Hyundai’s international reach around the Nürburgring 24 Hours, Jeff Ricca of Ricca Autosport will represent Hyundai Motor America within the VT2 class of the Hyundai i30 Fastback N Cup as the sole driver from the United States via Hyundai’s “Dare to Dream” global program. Ricca currently drives a Hyundai Elantra N in the TC class of the 2023 SRO TC America Powered by Skip Schedule of Events Leading Up to the Nürburgring 24 Hours 1.
