(Reuters) - Rally world championship leader Thierry Neuville has signed a three-year contract extension with his Hyundai team, they announced on Wednesday.

The Belgian, who has taken nine wins since 2014, will now stay until the end of the 2021 season.

Neuville has a 23-point advantage over reigning world champion Sebastien Ogier heading into this weekend's Rally of Turkey, with Hyundai also leading the manufacturers' standings with four races remaining.

"We have improved a lot in recent seasons, and it has always been my target to build continuity for my career by remaining with this team," he said in a Hyundai statement.
