Hyundai renews partnership with Wales Rally GB

Building on last year's successful affiliation, Hyundai Motor U.K. will be reappointed as 'Official Car Partner' to Wales Rally GB - a move that reinforces the company's growing presence at the forefront of the WRC. The partnership between Wales Rally GB and Hyundai Motor U.K. will see the i20 WRC car once again featuring prominently on all the 2015 event's promotional materials including posters, ticketing leaflets and publicity flyers as well as on the walesrallygb.com website and the cover of the official programme.

Hyundai Motor U.K. will also provide a fleet of liveried vehicles for use on the event by key members of the organisation team and FIA dignitaries.

Hyundai Motorsport's ambitious team last year secured its first WRC victory, alongside several other podium finishes and so far this year, has secured podium finishes in Sweden and Sardinia. The team also enjoyed an encouraging Wales Rally GB debut in 2014 when Thierry Neuville just missed out on a podium with a highly creditable fourth position. There was further success, too, in the National Rally with BBC TopGear magazine’s Oliver Marriage taking B2 Class Honours in his Hyundai i20.

This year, Hyundai Motorsport will be running a four car lineup in Wales Rally GB, which will feature British co-driver Sebastian Marshall, who will be joining promising Dutch driver, Kevin Abbring.
