TOYOTA, Japan, Nov. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Thierry Neuville and Martijn Wydaeghe have secured the first FIA World Rally Championship for Drivers' and Co-drivers' titles for Hyundai Motorsport at Rally Japan in a fitting finale to an exciting 2024 season.

豐田,日本,2024年11月24日 /PRNewswire/ -- 蒂埃裏·紐維爾和馬丁·維達赫在日本拉力賽中爲現代汽車運動部贏得了首個FIA世界拉力錦標賽車手和副駕駛員冠軍,完美地爲激動人心的2024賽季畫上了句號。

The Belgian Hyundai Shell Mobis World Rally Team crew has led the 2024 championship standings since the opening round of the year, underscoring their consistent season in the Hyundai i20 N Rally1 Hybrid in which they have scored two wins, six podiums and 49 stage victories.

比利時現代殼牌Mobis世界拉力車隊自年初第一輪比賽以來就一直領先2024年的錦標積分榜,突顯了他們在現代i20 N Rally1混合動力車中的穩定表現,取得了兩場勝利,六個領獎臺和49個階段勝利。

Neuville and Wydaeghe made the perfect start to their championship-winning campaign with an emphatic win at Rallye Monte-Carlo, before making the most of the new FIA WRC scoring system in Sweden and Kenya to maintain a slim lead in the standings.

紐維爾和維達赫在摩納哥拉力賽上以壓倒性的勝利爲他們的冠軍征程開了個好頭,此後在瑞典和肯尼亞充分利用新的FIA WRC計分系統,以保持在積分榜上的微弱領先。

Back on tarmac in Croatia, Neuville and Wydaeghe once again demonstrated their rally-winning potential, leading for 15 of 20 stages. A final day incident unfortunately cost them the victory, however their hard work up to that moment secured them the points they needed to remain at the top of the standings – and claim third place overall.

回到克羅地亞的柏油路上,紐維爾和維達赫再次展示了他們的拉力賽獲勝潛力,在20個賽段中領先了15個。然而,最後一天的意外不幸使他們失去了勝利,儘管如此,他們在那之前的努力確保了他們所需的積分,保持在積分榜的頂部,並獲得總排名第三。

A second consecutive podium followed in Portugal as the FIA WRC began a run of seven back-to-back gravel events. Another third place saw the Belgians really gain momentum in the championship fight, extending their advantage to 24 points. Retirement from second place at Rally Italia Sardegna could have proved costly, but Neuville and Wydaeghe dug deep to dominate Super Sunday and maintain first place, with their closest rivals now team-mates Ott Tänak and Martin Järveoja.

在葡萄牙,FIA WRC迎來了連續七場的沙石賽事,他們再次獲得了第二個領獎台。第三名的成績讓比利時選手在冠軍爭奪中真正積累了勢頭,將他們的優勢擴大至24分。在意大利撒丁島拉力賽上的退役可能會很 costly,但紐維爾和維達赫深挖潛力,主導了超級星期日,保持了第一名,而他們最接近的對手現在是隊友奧特·塔納克和馬丁·雅爾維歐哈。

After three fast gravel events in Poland, Latvia and Finland, Neuville and Wydaeghe held a 27-point advantage over Sebastién Ogier and Vincent Landais, who had moved ahead of Tänak and Järveoja. However, an incredible podium sweep in Greece led by the Belgians saw them grow this even further, with Tänak and Järveoja reclaiming second in the standings. Neuville and Wydaeghe survived an intense Rally Chile to bring home fourth place, and more valuable points. At the team's home event, Central European Rally, the Belgians finished in third overall to head into Japan with a 25-point lead over their Estonian team-mates.

經過在波蘭、拉脫維亞和芬蘭的三場快速沙石賽事,紐維爾和維達赫領先塞巴斯蒂安·奧吉爾和文森特·蘭代斯27分,他們已領先塔納克和雅爾維歐哈。然而,比利時選手在希臘的精彩領獎台橫掃,讓他們進一步擴大了這一優勢,而塔納克和雅爾維歐哈則在積分榜上重新奪回第二。在拉力智利中,紐維爾和維達赫經歷了一場激烈的比賽,最終獲得第四,並獲得了更多寶貴的積分。在球隊的主場賽事——中歐拉力賽中,比利時選手總排名第三,帶着25分的優勢進入日本,領先他們的愛沙尼亞隊友。

It was no means plain sailing for the crew at the final event of the year. While starting Friday on an ideal note with a stage win, Neuville and Wydaeghe then suffered a technical issue that dropped them out of the points-scoring positions on Friday. An incredible comeback on Saturday vaulted them back up to seventh, and they began Sunday requiring just two points to keep Tänak and Järveoja at bay. In a bittersweet twist, the Estonians crashed on the first stage of the morning – confirming Neuville and Wydaeghe as champions.

在年終的最後一場賽事中,對車組來說並不是一帆風順。雖然在週五以一個賽段的勝利理想開局,但紐維爾和維達赫隨後遭遇了技術問題,週五讓他們失去了積分區域。在週六的令人難以置信的回歸讓他們重新攀升至第七,週日開始時他們只需要兩個積分就能使塔納克和雅爾維歐哈暫時止步。令人唏噓的是,愛沙尼亞選手在早上的首個賽段中發生了碰撞,最終確認紐維爾和維達赫成爲冠軍。

For Neuville, his debut FIA WRC drivers' title is the culmination of 11 seasons with Hyundai Motorsport. The Belgian has been instrumental in the team's successes in FIA WRC, from the very first podium at Rally México and debut win at Rallye Deutschland in 2014, to the two manufacturers' titles in 2019 and 2020. Together, Hyundai Motorsport and Neuville have built a solid working relationship – one of the longest in the FIA WRC – that has seen him finish as vice-champion four times and claim 21 victories, 62 podiums and 380 stage wins.

對於紐維爾來說,他的首次FIA WRC車手冠軍是與現代汽車運動合作11個賽季的巔峯之作。這位比利時車手在FIA WRC的成功中發揮了重要作用,從2014年在墨西哥拉力賽上獲得的首個頒獎臺和德國拉力賽的首個勝利,到2019年和2020年的兩個製造商冠軍。現代汽車運動與紐維爾之間建立了牢固的合作關係——這是FIA WRC中最長的關係之一——他曾四次獲得亞軍,並取得21場勝利、62個頒獎臺和380個分段勝利。

Thierry Neuville said: "To be standing here as the 2024 FIA WRC drivers' champion is a dream come true. I have to start by thanking my team of 11 years: I couldn't have done this without you. We have finished runners-up many times, but we never gave up hope that our time would come. I would also like to congratulate and thank Martijn; it has been incredible four seasons together and we have built a strong partnership in the cock-pit. I hope this is the first of many for us. I am so honoured to bring home this first drivers' title for Hyundai Motorsport."

蒂埃裏·紐維爾說:「站在這裏成爲2024年FIA WRC車手冠軍是一場夢想成真。我首先要感謝我11年來的團隊:沒有你們,我無法做到這一點。我們多次獲得亞軍,但我們從未放棄希望,期待我們的時刻到來。我也想祝賀並感謝馬丁;我們在一起度過了不可思議的四個賽季,建立了強大的合作伙伴關係。我希望這只是我們衆多成就中的第一步。我非常榮幸能夠爲現代汽車運動帶回這個第一個車手冠軍。」

Martijn Wydaeghe said: "There are a lot of emotions at the moment, and we don't quite realise what we have done. This weekend we showed that our best strength is our mental resilience. Despite a setback on Friday, we kept believing in ourselves and the team. They got the car working again for us that we could be on the pace today. All season, we have had our own strategy and it really paid off – never giving up, focusing on a strong Sunday, and this made us world champions. Thank you to everyone at Hyundai Motorsport, both in the service park and back at Alzenau."

馬丁·維達赫說:「目前有很多情緒,我們還沒有完全意識到我們所做的事情。這週末我們展示了我們最大的優勢就是心理韌性。儘管週五遇到挫折,我們依然相信自己和團隊。他們讓汽車再次爲我們工作,以便我們能夠在今天保持競爭力。整個賽季,我們都有自己的策略,這真的得到了回報——絕不放棄,專注於一個強勁的星期日,這使我們成爲了世界冠軍。感謝現代汽車運動的每一個人,無論是在服務區還是在阿爾岑諾。」

Hyundai Motorsport President and Team Principal Cyril Abiteboul said: "We started the season with one clear mission: to win the drivers' and co-drivers' championships. I'd like to say a huge congratulations to Thierry and Martijn on their phenomenal achievement in realising that target. Their unrelenting determination has been evident, and their first titles are well deserved. I would also like to extend my congratulations and gratitude to everyone in the team for their individual efforts in this latest success for Hyundai Motorsport. Finally, I'd like to say a word about Thierry on the realisation of his lifelong dream. It is the reward for years of dedication, resilience, and hard work to compete at the pinnacle of the sport. His attitude at the start of the weekend embodied his fantastic team spirit, and reflects the contribution he has made to Hyundai's success over the past 11 seasons. He wanted to do everything he could to help us in the manufacturers' championship, even while fighting for his own. He is a worthy champion."

現代汽車運動總裁兼車隊負責人西里爾·阿比特布爾說:“我們以一個明確的使命開始了這個賽季:贏得車手和副車手的冠軍。我想對蒂埃裏和馬丁在實現這一目標方面的非凡成就表示熱烈祝賀。他們不屈不撓的決心顯而易見,他們的第一個冠軍是名副其實的。我還想對團隊中的每一個人表示祝賀和感謝,感謝他們在現代汽車運動最新成功中的個人努力。最後,我想說幾句話,祝賀蒂埃裏實現了他一生的夢想。這是多年來奉獻、韌性和努力工作的回報,以便在這一運動的巔峯中競爭。他在週末開始時的態度體現了他的團隊精神,這反映了他在過去11個賽季中對現代成功的貢獻。他想盡一切所能幫助我們爭取製造商冠軍,即使在爲自己的競爭而戰。他是一位值得的冠軍。

Vice President Global Key Accounts and New Business Development at Shell Aysun Akik said: "We are thrilled to congratulate Thierry Neuville on winning the 2024 FIA World Rally Championship Drivers' title. Thierry's exceptional skill, determination, and unwavering commitment have led him to this outstanding achievement. His success is a testament to the hard work and synergy between him and the entire Hyundai Motorsport team. We are proud to have supported Thierry and the team throughout this incredible journey and look forward to celebrating many more victories together."

殼牌全球關鍵客戶與新業務發展副總裁Aysun Akik表示:「我們非常高興地祝賀蒂埃裏·諾維爾贏得2024年FIA世界拉力錦標賽車手冠軍頭銜。蒂埃裏的卓越技能、決心和堅定承諾使他取得了這一傑出成就。他的成功證明了他與整個現代汽車賽車團隊之間的辛勤工作和協同合作。我們很自豪能在這一不可思議的旅程中支持蒂埃裏和團隊,並期待一起慶祝更多的勝利。」
