Leopoldo Satrustegui, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor España, stated; “A brand like Hyundai, where competition has been part of our DNA for more than 30 years, could not miss participating in the FIA Motorsports Games, and our contribution through the new KONA Electric N Line demonstrates that electrification and competition are absolutely compatible. For us, this collaboration is really interesting, an event where great drivers will be present, some of whom will be participating in the colours of our brand.”
Hosted for the first time in Spain, the third edition of the FIA Motorsport Games is expected to attract more than 650 participants from all over the world. But they arrive to represent their respective countries, and not for a team or manufacturer, as is traditional in motor racing competitions.
“We are delighted to have Hyundai join us for the Auto Slalom competition in Valencia. One of the grassroots categories for the FIA Motorsport Games, Auto Slalom opens the event up to non-motorsport licence holders, with participants only needing a national driving licence,” said Stéphane Ratel, Founder and CEO of SRO Motorsports Group.
“These grassroots categories are a vital part of the FIA Motorsport Games. One of the goals of the Games is to introduce and open up our sport to many more potential racers in parts of the world which don’t currently have existing circuits or infrastructure.”
A ‘Race of Nations’, drivers instead compete for winning gold, silver or bronze medals across 26 varied categories of the sport, complete with the opportunity to parade their nation’s flag in the spectacular Opening Ceremony at Valencia’s City of Arts and Sciences.
The Auto Slalom competition will take place on at Circuit Ricardo Tormo, locate bespoke course d 30 minutes from Valencia city center.
Competitors must race against the stopwatch while driving through a series of low-to-medium-speed corners, with the fastest running against each other to earn a gold, silver, or bronze medal for their nation.
