The team currently sits in second place in the manufacturers’ standings with Jean-Karl Vernay also second in the drivers’ championship. The team aims to continue its form in Copenhagen and overhaul the 41-points deficit to the lead of the standings.

The Copenhagen PURE ETCR Draw will be on Thursday evening, the 5 August. It wil decide the two Pools for the weekend. Drivers will enjoy two free practice sessions on Friday, before the Battles of Rounds 1 and 2 on Saturday 7 August. Round 3’s time trial on the morning of Sunday 8 August will set the starting grid for Round 4’s Super Finals.

Hyundai Motorsport Director of Marketing and PR, Stefan Ph. Henrich said: “Copenhagen has a special role in our PURE ETCR journey, as it was where we first announced our participation in the all-new series with our first-ever electric racing car. It will be a true pleasure for us to return next weekend, and we hope to have another successful event. We have started to find our feet in the series and as we head into the halfway point of the season, our goal is to continue the strong form we demonstrated in Aragón. As our first street circuit of the season, everyone will be on a steep learning curve in Copenhagen, as no team or driver has previous experience racing at Bellahøj Park. The Hyundai Veloster N ETCR is capable of scoring more victories, and all four of our drivers can be in contention for King of the Weekend, as we bid to claim the lead of both championships.”
