What’s more rad than getting the keys to a Hyundai Ioniq 5 N? How about getting the keys for a whole week–and that week is the Tire Rack One Lap of America Presented by Grassroots Motorsports Magazine?

Stay tuned for more …
Well look at that.
Hey, I know those guys. Looking forward to how well it competes. 
Neat! Three days is plenty of time to prep the car, right?
Super intrigued to see whether you are able to keep the car charged while driving hundreds of miles a day and racing.

One day, really. We fly in tomorrow, fetch it and prep on Friday.
But the whole idea is that it's ready to go from the factory. We are required to swap tires to new ones from Tire Rack, though.
Oh...and I've been practicing my 30-minute "power" naps. Gonna be a lot of them with a 200-mile range.

It won't be the first time an EV has competed and completed the event. One even finished on the overall podium.
Taking delivery of the car the day before the event, nice :) Although I seem to recall that Andy has taken more than one brand new car on this particular road trip...
In reply to nderwater :
Lots of Hyundai dealers along the way, factory effort?

Certainly wasn't our plan for such a late delivery but it's where we ended up.
And yeah, Team Temp Tag strikes again.
And here's the backstory on our reasoning:
