Hyundai completed a two-day test at Valencia last week with the new i30 N TCR, set for debut in the final two TCR International Series races of 2017.

Experienced touring car racers Gabriele Tarquini and Alain Menu drove the pair of cars during the test and will drive the races in China and the United Arab Emirates later this year.

A number of other drivers also tested the car in Valencia last week, including former BTCC driver Dan Welch, TCR Europe driver Stian Paulsen, TCR Benelux race winner Maxime Potty and TCR Portugal championship leader Francisco Mora.
