In the latest episode of the Hoonigan Rally Speedrun Championship, we witness the roaring presence of the Hyundai i20 rally car, a turbocharged beast in the WRC Rally 2 category. Alistair Scully, a fresh face in the rally scene hailing from Chicago, takes the wheel of the WRC2 spec car, fueled by a passion ignited by his late father's racing legacy. The Hyundai i20 impresses with its four-cylinder turbocharged Hyundai engine and Ricardo transmission, delivering a modest yet efficient 300 horsepower. With its XTC suspension system, this rally car glides over gravel roads like a dream, showcasing a blend of power and finesse.

Opting to forgo the spare tire for a shot at faster lap times, Alistair faces a setback with a rollover during practice. However, the resilient team quickly gets the car back in shape for Alistair to tackle three hot laps with determination. Despite the challenges, Alistair pushes through and clinches the top spot on the leaderboard with a remarkable time of 1:45.83, surpassing all expectations and even outshining his racing hero. This triumph not only secures Alistair's place in the rally world but also earns him the prestigious honor of having a corner named after him on the track, a testament to his skill and tenacity on the course.
