N Festival delivers again

The seventh running of the 2025 Hyundai N Festival in Australia took place at Winton Motor Raceway from Friday November 21 to 23 with more than 350 cars and 600 Nthusiasts over the three days.

The N Festival is an annual event for Nthusiasts and N owners and contains a huge range of activities both on and off track, and even around the local towns of Benalla and Wangaratta.

There were also opportunities to test drive the very latest Hyundai N models, new and rare models were also on show including the IONIQ 6 N and special DK Edition IONIQ 5 N.

There was a Show N Shine competition, parade laps every day during the event of N Festival cars, a motorkhana and even Roll Racing on Saturday evening. Off track activities included an N Drive Meet on Saturday and Sunday exploring the Victorian High Country via Milawa, Beechworth and Yackandandah.

Many took the opportunity to drive i20 N, i30 N, i30 Sedan N, KONA N and the all-electric IONIQ 5 N around the country roads of the local area.
