Hyundai is one of the World Rally Championship's big three, and has a brand-new travelling facility befitting of that status. The team invited Motorsport.com for a behind-the-scenes look at its state-of-the-art HQ, which comes complete with all the bells and whistles you'd expect of a top Formula 1 outfit.

The World Rally Championship is a travelling circus and unlike circuit racing, where teams work out of pit garages, WRC operations are required to set up camp in temporarily constructed service parks.

In Formula 1, teams are equipped with glamorous multi-floor temporary structures that pop up in paddocks to house their staff and an ever-growing guest list. The WRC is no different, with top teams Toyota, Hyundai and M-Sport Ford all operating out of their own brand of impressive peripatetic structures.
