"Hyundai N Festival to Welcome Audience Again After 3 Years, Opening on the 6th"

[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dae-yeol] Hyundai Motor Company announced on the 3rd that it will host the country’s largest one-make race event, the ‘Hyundai N Festival.’

The event is a motorsports competition using Hyundai’s high-performance N brand vehicles and is held in a festival format. Hyundai previously held the Click Speed Festival starting in 2003 and the Korea Speed Festival from 2011 to 2018. The Hyundai N Festival began in 2019. Except for the first year, the event was held without spectators due to COVID-19, but this year, spectators are allowed for the first time in three years.

First, the 1st round will be held over three days starting from the 6th at Inje Speedium. A total of about 150 cars are scheduled to participate across seven rounds until October. This year, the top professional class Avante N Cup, which allows participation with the Avante N vehicle, has been newly added. This competition is operated with race cars that have enhanced performance through collaboration with Hyundai’s Namyang Research Center, with domestic racing teams such as Seohan GP and Atlas BX participating. In addition, amateur-level (Veloster N Cup), beginner-level (Avante N Line) competitions, and a time trial class are prepared.

Hyundai will broadcast the event through online channels such as YouTube, Facebook, and Naver TV. For on-site visitors, Hyundai N Lounge will be operated. This space will include a resting area and a test lab used as a base camp for driving tests conducted by Hyundai researchers. Till Vattenberg, Head of Hyundai Motor N Brand Management Motorsport Division, said, “Through this year’s event, which can be held with spectators for the first time in three years, we will vividly convey the excitement and emotion of motorsports.”
