Meanwhile, Hyundai will support a special auction to raise money for the Craig Breen Foundation and run a special livery in Croatia to honour the late driver.
Hyundai has also donated several special items to an online auction, all the proceeds going to the Craig Breen Foundation.
The foundation was set up to help aspiring young drivers through the rallying ranks, a cause Breen was particularly passionate about. It currently provides financial support to young drivers competing in Ireland’s J1000 Forestry Series.
The auction is set to go live from 9am on 16 April before concluding at 9pm on 23 April.
Items currently listed in the action range from Thierry Neuville and Ott Tanak crash helmets from last year and a pair of Dani Sordo’s Hyundai WRC overalls.
