Spaniard, Dani Sordo has extended his contract with Hyundai Motorsport into season 2020.
Sordo has driven for the Hyundai team since they joined the WRC back in 2014 and scored his first win for the team in Italy this season.
“I am delighted to continue with Hyundai Motorsport for a seventh consecutive season," he said.
"The team has truly become like a family to me, and we have shared some fantastic moments together. The highlight has to be the victory in Sardinia this year, but we have had many competitive rallies over the years, including the memorable 1-2 in Germany in our first season."
There has been mounting speculation that Sordo might join rival squad, Toyota, but this announcement quells and potential switch.
"I feel very happy and comfortable with the team, but just as importantly I feel as competitive as ever," he added.
"The Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC is a strong car on all surfaces, and – alongside Carlos – I have had strong pace in many events this year, even if the results haven’t always gone our way.
"We have a lot of ambition remaining, and I am pleased to have the opportunity to compete in seven WRC rallies with the team in 2020.”
