Hyundai N and Toyota GAZOO Racing (TGR) are officially joining forces once again for Gymkhana Day, marking the second high-profile collaboration between the two performance powerhouses. Building on the massive success of their joint motorsport festival held in 2024, this follow-up event sets competition aside to celebrate pure driving precision, car culture, and engineering enthusiasm.
Set to take place on September 11 at Inje Speedium (Parking Lot 1) in Gangwon-do, South Korea, Gymkhana Day shifts the spotlight toward technical driver skill, tight-course handling, and high-adrenaline maneuvers.
Motorsport Over Rivalry
While Hyundai N and Toyota GAZOO Racing remain fierce competitors on global rally and circuit stages—most notably in the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC)—this ongoing partnership underscores a mutual commitment to revitalizing car enthusiast culture in East Asia. Under Hyundai N's guiding ethos, "Never just drive," both manufacturers aim to demonstrate that enthusiasm for track performance and driver engagement transcends brand boundaries.
Event Highlights and Format
Technical Gymkhana Course: Drivers navigate complex slaloms, tight 360-degree spins, and precision figure-eights designed to test vehicle dynamics and split-second throttle control.
Showcase of Flagship Performance: The event puts production and tuned performance platforms from both lineups on display, highlighting lightweight agility and responsive chassis tuning.
Driver-Centric Camaraderie: Rather than standard wheel-to-wheel racing, the gymkhana format emphasizes skill-building, split times, and technical exchange between both communities.
