As the new WRC season approaches, Hyundai has revealed a rather crazy trailer. Drivers Thierry Neuville and Ott Tanak reinterpret the GTA 6 trailer.
What if Hyundai Motorsport hadn’t unveiled the best advertising video in WRC history? For the start of the 2024 season, the Korean team took over Parody of Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer. Drivers Thierry Neuville and Ott Tanak play the lead roles… with lots of self-obstruction.
Team Hyundai definitely has a sense of humor as they titled the video “Grand Auto Test XXIV”. A reinterpretation of the legendary franchise name, but with its motorsport twist. Number XXIV, for 24, echoes the 2024 WRC season that is fast approaching.
Cyril Abiteboul as guest
Rather than a simple parody, Hyundai also took over the trailer, shot for shot. Obviously, just to make things right, The soundtrack is also similar to the one used by GTA : Love is a long roadby Tom Petty.
In a game of odds, We also find Cyril Abiteboul (potentially) in the role of a video game policeman. The Frenchman, a former general manager of Renault F1, now holds the position of team principal of Hyundai Motorsport in the WRC.
The only problem for Hyundai is that for the moment, the video only has 690,000 views. We’re 170 million away from the original trailer.
