The Word Rally Team Hyundai Motorsport has revealed that Hyundai Mobis will be the main partner for its second team in the FIA World Rally Championship, the Hyundai Mobis World Rally Team.
Hyundai Mobis will run a third car at every round of the series from Rally Sweden running under the Hyundai Motorsport N entry.
New Zealand’s Hayden Paddon will take part in the majority of the rounds with Hyundai Test driver Kevin Abbring competing in at least four events in a fourth car.

“We are pleased to name Hyundai Mobis as the primary partner for our second team, the Hyundai Mobis World Rally Team, as we prepare to run three cars from Rally Sweden.” said Team Principle Michel Nadan
“The new team will be headed up by Hayden Paddon and will run in parallel to the Hyundai Shell World Rally Team for the rest of the 2015 season.
“We are also delighted to give our test driver Kevin the chance to take part in some WRC events this year and he will also run under the Hyundai Mobis World Rally Team name.”
Rally Sweden kicks off on February 12th
