It"s surely impossible to name a performance car hero that doesn"t have roots in motorsport. Whether you like its occasionally complex politics or not, it"s pivotal to the development and marketing of performance cars. The Hyundai i30N is no different. Long before we knew what N" meant, i20 rally cars were being flung around forests with Ns emblazoned on their bodywork, while the i30N effectively had its final sign off at the N rburgring 24 Hours. A perfect excuse to jump in ours and go and see some racing, then. First up, this year"s N24. Until I visited the Isle of Man TT, it was my candidate for the world"s most exciting motorsport event. On four wheels, it still is. There"s a breadth of competitors from a group of mates in an old BMW 3 Series to professionals in GT3 racecars that"s unrivalled, all hosted by an unyielding rollercoaster of a track with a notoriously indecisive climate.
