Mattias does have the experience of winning the title in the predecessor PURE ETCR series, but it will be thrilling to see how the battle between the team-mates ensues.

Next up and on a strong run of form after being crowned King of the Weekend in Vallelunga for Race IT, Hyundai Motorsport N driver Mikel Azcona sits on 368 points heading to his squad’s home event. Finally, Romeo Ferraris driver Maxime Martin is a long shot in fourth place with 360 points, despite the Belgian being denied his chance for DHL Super Finale glory last time out after team-mate Bruno Spengler’s crash took their Giulia ETCR out of action.

Germany provides a perfect backdrop for the season finale. Not only is it a home race for the Germany-based Hyundai Motorsport N squad, who are located just under 400km away in Alzenau, the region is also a hub of electromobility production.
