Theyre looking to get into WEC with their Genesis brand.
Hyundai have been heavily involved in WRC for many years now. Last weekend they won the World Drivers Championship (Thierry Neuville), but lost the Constructors Championship to Toyota when Ott Tanak slid off the road in Japan.
However, their participation in WRC beyond 2026 (when new technical regulations kick in) is currently being reviewed, as Hyundai switch their focus to the World Endurance Championship (WEC).

There don't seem to be any plans for them joining F1. They seem content playing in formulas closer to their showroom products.
I'd love to see the return of "privateer" teams back in F1. Even just a 1 car "customer" of the primary teams.
Factory Teams: Mercedes, Ferrari, Red Bull, Alpine/Audi?
Team Chassis with Customer Engines: McLaren, Haas, VCARB, Aston Martn, Williams, Alpine/Audi?
Customer Teams - Customer Chassis and Engine: Prema, Rodin, HiTech, Trident, ART, Invicta, etc
The top teams (Mercedes) develop a 'base' car for the season, which (along with spares as required) is entered and run under the relevant F2 team (eg Prema). Prema's top employees get exposure to F1, the best drivers outside f1 get more opportunity to show their potential, etc.
No "reserve" drivers for the top teams need to sit around not racing all year - Jack Doohan could be driving for Invicta in a rebadged Alpine, Mick Schumacher in the Prema-Mercedes, etc.

I don't think teams are allowed to have Customer Chassis. That's the whole point of being a manufacturer.

Correct.
Haas/Ferrari are the absolute limit of what another manufacturer can supply, and even then Dallara produce the chassis.
Nah, over the years I've thought F1 would be at its best if it were a blend of what F1 "is" and what Indycars were in the 90s.

I can't imagine how this will play out on stage.
If people want to shit on DTS, here's your target.
Is there meet and greet?

Premium Platinum
$600 for a meet and greet
OK. But to be fair, for that you get the personalised FO experience.$600 for a meet and greet
Back row seats are available at just $99 for those happy to be told to just FO as part of a crowd.

I'd be staggered if any of those shows sold out.
Good on him for trying to get out there but how much of the show will be unique to what we've previously heard? Not to mention, I don't think he's got a big enough following down here to pay what they'll be asking for it.

I don't think he'll have any issues.
I was considering going for the $99/$119 ticket range. There's worse things to spend money on. He spins a good yarn.
I can't imagine what a full show would look like from him. But can't begrudge a guy for making a dollar.

Great news
The following tracks I think should be non-negotiables every season
Monza
Spa
Silverstone
Suzuka
Monaco (for the history and spectacle)
Sao Paolo
Austin

I've always been big on Monaco but I'm actually starting to think it's time to wind that up. Utterly pointless race now with the size of the cars.
Would be better getting rid of the Sunday altogether and giving them all 1 lap to post a fastest time and work out points based on that.
