A new rumor suggests that Hyundai is close to joining the top class at Le Mans and in IMSA by 2026, possibly in alliance with Chip Ganassi racing.
Over the past decade years, Hyundai has made a major effort to add performance and premium offerings to its typical lineup of volume cars. Some of the resulting projects, like the GV70 from the relatively new Genesis brand and the sensational Ioniq 5 N from Hyundai's performance imprint N, are standouts already. Cars like that are usually tied to auto racing, and one thing Hyundai does not have is a top-class, closed-circuit racing program. That may be changing very soon.
Ferrari, Peugeot, Toyota, and soon Aston Martin all compete directly against those cars in their own cars built to the equal-but-unrelated LMH rule set. LMDh rules dictate that a team start with one of four chassis options built by a dedicated constructor, and the reports suggest that either Oreca or Dallara will be chosen for this project. Oreca currently builds cars for both Acura and Alpine, while Dallara builds cars for both BMW and Cadillac.
