CUPRA EKS aims for continuation in Zolder

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.

I enjoy Zolder. It’s a bit through the forest with old-style race track with slow and mixed corners. I’m excited about the circuit and also about the competition in general.

We had a good start to the season and the trick will be to try to keep that momentum going. I hope we can have another good one.” In an extraordinary start to his all-electric ETCR career, Adrien Tambay is the only driver to win all three of his DHL Super Final races this season – and was crowned King of the Weekend in only his second ETCR race meeting in Hungary. The Frenchman is also in scintillating form and arrives in Belgium second in the drivers’ standings, just six points behind Ekström.

“I’m very much looking forward to be back racing,” said Tambay. “It’s been a very good beginning of the season to be honest. I’m looking forward to keep pushing and trying to be to be as strong as we were in the race so far.
