Waterford's Craig Breen will return to the World Rally Championship in August.
The 29-year-old will make a one-off appearance for Hyundai at Rally Finland with his co-driver Paul Nagle.
They will compete in the #42 i20 Coupe WRC alongside Thierry/Nicolas and Andreas/Anders as part of a three-crew line-up.
Craig Breen lost his seat at Citroen Racing at the end of last year and has been working hard to find a way back into the sport's top flight since.
"Rally Finland is a very particular type of event that warrants an approach like no other on the calendar," said Hyundai Team Director Andrea Adamo.
"It's a huge challenge for teams and crews alike. Craig has demonstrated his class at this event in the past and has a lot of experience, which will be invaluable to us."
"I am chuffed to be given this chance," said Craig Breen.
"It’s been a long and patient wait, having to watch everyone else drive this year. I am honoured to have this one-off opportunity with Paul as my co-driver."
The Irishman took his first WRC podium in Finland in 2016, and has competed there each year since 2009, with the sole exception of 2013. He will have sufficient opportunities to get up to speed ahead of the WRC event. A seat fitting will be followed by a pre-event test, as well as participation in Rally Estonia (July 12-14). Andreas/Anders will also join that event as representative preparation for the fast Finnish stages.
"Finland is the rally I've done most in the WRC so I hope I can bring something to the team," Breen added.
"I am getting plenty of seat time before Finland. It will remain a challenge but one I am ready to grasp with both hands. I’ll be competing with the #42, a number I’ve raced with since my first year in karting in 1998, and that has always been very lucky. Let’s hope it remains that way!"
