They just made a multi-billion $$ investment in a new US steel plant and assembly plant so I'm sure the IMSA program is very important for them. Hyundai seems to be the 'new VW' for young people today. What used to be tons of modified VW Golfs, Jettas, etc. 20-25 years ago, is now Hyundai from what I see at the races.
Penske ran an LMP2 in WEC before the 963. Excellent way to develop a team and learn racing cadence and strategy.
