That looks NOICE.
It's also interesting to see two Williams Racing-associated drivers making up that IDEC Sport LMP2 entry

I'm hoping it'll be painted bright orange like previous "Magma" branded Genesis concepts/models:
Absolutely love it, and love how much Hyundai has embraced motorsports over the past few years. Seeing the OEMs showing up in strength is such a boon for racers at every level.
