Jáchym Galáš has been selected by Hyundai Motorsport as a TCR Customer Racing Junior Driver for the 2022 season.

20-year-old Galáš, from the Czech Republic, will focus on his second season in TCR Europe at the wheel of a Hyundai Elantra N run by Janík Motorsport. He will be able to call on the support of the Hyundai Motorsport Customer Racing support engineers.

In addition, he will be invited to take part in tests with Hyundai Motorsport where he will be able to work directly with the teams’ engineers, but also benefit from mentoring by, and the experience of, Hyundai Motorsport’s WTCR drivers.

Hyundai Motorsport Deputy Team Principal Julien Moncet said: “Supporting young drivers coming through the ranks is a crucial part of the role of the Customer Racing department within Hyundai Motorsport. TCR presents the perfect opportunity for this, with drivers able to remain with the same Hyundai cars as they progress from national to international competition.”
