Welcome to Autodromo Vallelunga Piero Taruffi for the fifth round of the FIA ETCR eTouring Car World Cup, Race IT, in the glorious Regione Lazio. Friday means practice day and all drivers have taken to the scorching hot track whilst some amongst them were lucky enough to get some press conference action too. Scroll on to hear and read their thoughts ahead of Race IT.
CUPRA EKS heads into this weekend’s fourth round of the 2022 FIA ETCR eTouring Car World Cup at Zolder for Race BE this weekend hoping to continue its winning streak in the season which has seen a CUPRA driver crowned King of the Weekend at every round so far and the marque leading the manufacturers’ category by 172 points heading to Belgium. Ad/> Mattias Ekström currently tops the drivers’ points table after being crowned King in Jarama last time out, to add to his Pau crown. The Swedish driver is on great form and is certainly driving to his mantra of ‘go hard or go home.’ FIA ETCRSeconds Out… Romeo Ferraris set for FIA ETCR second half17 HOURS AGO “Zolder is a place which I actually enjoyed a lot from the past,” said Ekström “My first race there was really back in the day! I think it was 2003.
The CUPRA EKS team dominated its home round of the 2022 FIA ETCR eTouring Car World Cup, winning both the Pool FAST and Pool FURIOUS DHL Super Finals at the Circuito de Madrid Jarama-RACE to extend its lead at the top of the manufacturers’ points table. Mattias Ekström recorded his second perfect score of the season by mastering Pool FURIOUS.
For the third round of the FIA ETCR eTouring Car World Cup the team at the top of the Manufactirers’ standings, CUPRA EKS, heads to their manufacturing and racing home of Spain and Madrid’s Jarama-RACE circuit hopeful of continuing their 2022 success so far. After finishing the first round with three of the CUPRA EKS team drivers on the podium in Pau for Infinite Reality Race FR, the squad emerged from last weekend’s Race HU at Budapest with Adrien Tambay as King of the Weekend and overall points leader and Mattias Ekström second in the weekend and season. Ad/> With a healthy 90-point lead in the Manufacturers’ standings, CUPRA hope home advantage pays dividends.
The Pool FURIOUS Quarter Finals delivered more than their fair share of on-track action at the Hungaroring today, with Romeo Ferraris’ Bruno Spengler and Hyundai’s Motorsport N’s Jean Karl Vernay finishing first in their respective battles. Poleman Adrien Tambay, driving for CUPRA EKS, had a slower start to the Pool FURIOUS Quarter Final 1 than Spengler, moving into second place ahead of team-mate Tom Blomqvist.
Adrien Tambay, driving for CUPRA EKS, was fastest in both Pool FURIOUS Qualifying sessions this afternoon, setting a best overall lap in 1:54.687. Tambay, sharing his car with this morning’s fastest driver Mattias Ekström, played it safe in Qualifying 1, though still taking the top spot, before improving in the second session to set the top time for Pool FURIOUS.
Practice duties completed for our drivers, marking the start of the second round of the FIA ETCR eTouring Car World Cup at the Hungaroring in Budapest, Hungary. Here are their opening thoughts on Day One of the FIA ETCR RACE HU. The pre-event press conference took place earlier today, featuring Mattias Ekström, Luca Filippi, Jean-Karl Vernay, Adrien Tambay, Giovanni Venturini and Mikel Azcona.
CUPRA EKS aims to continue its great start to the FIA ETCR eTouring Car World Cup when the second round of the 2022 season takes place in Budapest with Race HU this weekend. Mattias Ekström leads the drivers’ standings after being crowned King of the Weekend at the season-opening Infinite Reality Race FR last month, with the 2021 ETCR winner taking glory in his Pool FURIOUS Quarter Final, Semi Final and DHL Super Final races in the CUPRA e-Racer to outscore the opposition.
