HMO Customer Racing takes delivery of second Hyundai Elantra N TCR

HMO Customer Racing has taken delivery of a second Hyundai Elantra N TCR, having fielded one Elantra (which is named i30 sedan in Australia) and one i30 N TCR hatchback in last year’s TCR Australia season.

“It’s really awesome to have this new Hyundai in the country,” said team manager Scott Fulcher.

“The new version is the facelifted model featuring a different appearance, which matches the current road-going car available at Hyundai dealers. It has new headlights, front and rear fascias, plus a couple of other pretty bits, but it is the same version already raced here, just updated visually.”

The team has also updated its existing Elantra to the latest specification ahead of the 2025 season.

“Both of our i30 N Sedans (Elantras) have been updated, so they will look the same on-track,” said Fulcher.

“It makes the HMO Customer Racing program market relevant to the road-going i30 N Sedans available in Hyundai’s showrooms.”

The team has so far only confirmed its intention to enter two cars this year, with TCR Australia still lacking any confirmed entries for the upcoming season.

“We’re 100 percent committed to TCR Australia. We love the category, plus having two TCR World Tour rounds at The Bend and Macau competing against globally renowned drivers is a pretty exciting prospect. This year, we’re going to tracks we haven’t raced at such as Barbagallo Raceway and ONE Raceway, and this adds another element to the series,” said Fulcher.

“Our intention is to enter at least two Hyundais in this year’s TCR Australia Series and we are fielding further inquiries regarding more. This will all be confirmed soon.”

The 2025 TCR Australia season is scheduled to start on June 6-8 with the Perth Super 440.
