Hyundai Motor America is preparing for the 2025 IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge (IMPC) season finale at Georgia’s legendary Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, determined to close the year with another strong performance. Following an impressive showing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Hyundai remains firmly in contention at the top of the TCR Manufacturers’ Championship standings, demonstrating its dominance in touring car racing.
Hyundai Showcases Tenacity at Indianapolis
At the Battle on the Bricks in Indianapolis, Hyundai’s teams displayed the endurance, pace, and teamwork that have defined their 2025 campaign. The No. 98 Hyundai Elantra N TCR, driven by Mason Filippi and Harry Gottsacker, battled fiercely for a podium finish, ultimately securing fourth place after a race-long duel in the TCR class.
Off the track, Hyundai continued its commitment to community impact. Hyundai Hope on Wheels presented a $100,000 donation to Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital, in addition to raising $19,600 through its laps-led initiative — reinforcing the brand’s ongoing mission to help end pediatric cancer through motorsport.
Road Atlanta: The Ultimate Test for the Hyundai Elantra N TCR
The season finale takes place at the 2.54-mile, 12-turn Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, one of North America’s most demanding circuits. Known for its high-speed esses, heavy braking zones, and elevation changes, Road Atlanta will test every ounce of precision and endurance from Hyundai’s Elantra N TCR race cars.
Throughout the 2025 IMPC season, Hyundai’s Elantra N TCR has delivered championship-caliber performance across a variety of circuits — blending speed, reliability, and balance. These attributes make the Elantra N TCR particularly suited for Road Atlanta’s flowing layout, where momentum and handling are key to success.
Hyundai’s Championship Push
Hyundai enters the season finale leading the IMSA TCR Manufacturers’ Championship with 2,990 points, ahead of Audi (2,830), Honda (2,800), and Cupra (2,070). This commanding position highlights Hyundai’s consistency and competitive edge throughout the 2025 season.
