The TCR touring car class of this year"s IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge will certainly be worth a watch. Already confirmed are stripped out and beefed-up versions of the Honda Civic Type R, Volkswagen Golf GTI and Audi RS3, and now Hyundai"s N division is joining the party. The Korean performance brand is on a roll. The i30N road car is a mini masterpiece and the Fastback version has proven that N can do design as well as drama. Neither of those cars are sold in America though, so Hyundai set about developing a touring car based on something that punters could actually get their hands on. So while Europe watches the i30N TCR race, America will see the Veloster N TCR compete. The two share around 85 per cent of their components.
