The Hyundai N Festival is the largest one-make race in Korea that inherits the "Hyundai Click Speed Festival" held from 2003 to 2010 and the "Korea Speed Festival" held from 2011 to 2018.
One-make race refers to a racing method in which a single vehicle runs on a track and competes only with the driver's ability.
This season, three-grade competitions will be held: 'Grand Turismo eN1 Class' ▲ 'Geumho N1 Class' ▲ 'Nexen N2 Class' participating in the ▲ Ionic 5 NeN1 Cup Car (Cup Car, Race Car).
These race vehicles will be manufactured based on the N mass production model to prove the excellent performance of the N vehicles.
This year, starting with the first round opening, a total of six rounds will be held from ▲2nd round at Yeongam Korea International Circuit in June ▲3rd round at Inje Speedium in September ▲4th round at Inje Speedium in October ▲5th round and final round at Yongin Speedway in November.
Of these, the third round will be held with TCR Asia and the fourth round will be held jointly with TCR World Tour and TCR Asia to promote the development of motorsports culture along with international competitions in line with their elevated status.
Touring Car Racing (TCR) is a motorsport in which automakers manufacture racing vehicles and sell them to each racing team, and Hyundai has sold and supported racing vehicles to teams around the world since 2018, winning two overall in the team category and five in the driver category.
In the final round, the U.S. plans to invite the winners of the SROTC (Touring Car) America Hyundai N Trophy Cup and China Hyundai N Cup to hold an international exchange match with domestic drivers.
Meanwhile, Hyundai Motor will run a variety of on-site events at each round site, including ▲ racing simulation competition 'Hyundai Ne-Festival Powered by Logitech G' ▲ 'N Taxi,' which experiences the track in a vehicle driven by a professional driver, ▲ toy car race competition 'N Mini Car,' for children customers ▲ and 'Circet Safari,' which looks around the track in a bus.
In addition, "N Track Day" will be newly established starting this season, which allows customers with ▲N models and N-Line models to drive on the track in their own cars.
In particular, at the opening site, various events such as ▲Making N Goods within ▲N & Motorsport Vehicle Exhibition ▲ Palm Square Spectator ▲ N Kids Zone for children's customers will be operated to provide entertainment to many visitors, including family members, lovers, and friends.
A Hyundai Motor official said, "The N Festival's more than 20 years of history shows Hyundai's passion for motorsports," adding, "More diverse customers will be able to enjoy the Hyundai N Festival through co-hosting international competitions, global exchange exhibitions, and various customer experience events."
