Hyundai and Toyota invite motorsport fans in South Korea to Everland Speedway, Yong-in, on October 27, 2024
Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chair Euisun Chung and Toyota Motor Corporation Chairman Akio Toyoda to attend festival
The two automakers are set to showcase their latest rally cars, high-performance models and future-oriented prototypes, such as Hyundai Motor's IONIQ 5 N Drift Spec and hydrogen-powered N Vision 74, as well as the Pikes Peak record-holding IONIQ 5 N TA Spec. Toyota will showcase TOYOTA GAZOO Racing's hydrogen combustion engine AE86 H2 Concept based on the Sprinter Trueno and the liquid hydrogen-powered GR Corolla.
The festival reaffirms both brands' ongoing commitment to the development of motorsport culture in South Korea.
"The highlight of the event will be a thrilling demo drive, reminiscent of an actual rally, featuring racing cars and professional drivers from each company’s World Rally Team. Customers can also experience the performance of these competition vehicles firsthand through a unique test ride."
I'm guessing the rally driving will be on tarmac and may not feature any dirt since guests get to ride along.
Other than that it's nice to see the two brands coming together to promote each other's brand for making somewhat affordable cars fun while seeking alternative fuels. I hope there will be some public footage of the event shared by visitors.
