Hyundai Motorsport GmbH is a German company operating with close links to Hyundai in South Korea.

Any Hyundai involvement in BTCC would be akin to sponsorship from a UK Dealer Network. Bristol Street Motors are one such dealer, with c. ten Hyundai franchises I think, but they also have involvement with many other car brands.
