“The King of the Weekend of Maxim was for sure a good achievement for us something that we were looking for since the beginning of the season,” said Team Principal, Michela Cerruti. “We knew it was possible. but there were many, many things happening and a bit of bad luck during the previous weekends.

And we were, let’s say close in some other occasions, but we couldn’t achieve it. So, for sure, a good result for us. And to be honest, is normally I wanted to have more.

But next step, it will be for sure to have the manufacturers title as well.” The challenge on the Piero Taruffi Circuit constitutes a further opportunity to continue on the path taken, and will have a strong symbolic value: it was here, in March 2021, that the Romeo Ferraris carried out the first tests with its fully electric Touring car, before the inaugural kick-off of championship later in June. The series was then known as PURE ETCR before receiving FIA status in 2022. Almost a year and a half later, progress is tangible in every respect.
