Shell announce WRC partnership extension

July 6, 2022

Shell has extended its long-standing partnership with Hyundai Motorsport to remain the title sponsor and technical partner of the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) outfit for a further three years.

The two companies formed their WRC relationship ahead of Hyundai Motorsport’s debut WRC season in 2014 and have since developed a mutually beneficial collaboration.

Over the past eight years, Shell has supported the team across several iterations of technical regulations, including some of the most advanced cars ever to grace the WRC stages. Sweeping changes in 2017 and, more recently, the introduction of new hybrid technology for 2022, have strengthened the co-operation, delivering tangible gains in competition and in Shell’s product development.

Hyundai Motorsport and Shell have celebrated two manufacturers’ titles together, in 2019 and 2020, as well as its most recent victory in Rally Italia Sardegna, the first for the all-new Hyundai i20 N Rally1 car.
