\u201cWe have had a close partnership with CUPRA for a very long time, for example with our joint team in Extreme E,\u201d says ABT CEO Thomas Biermaier. \u201cThis gave rise to the idea of creating further synergies and contributing our expertise to the ETCR as well.\u201d On most race weekends, for example, Markus Michelberger is part of the CUPRA EKS team, where he brings his experience from many years in DTM, Formula E and Extreme E to the table. \u201cIn addition to our exciting joint projects in production cars, it\u2019s great that we are also working together more and more intensively in motorsport. We warmly congratulate Adrien and the entire CUPRA EKS team,\u201d says Biermaier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After six race weekends in the all-electric touring car series, Adrien Tambay has won the drivers\u2019 championship ahead of his CUPRA teammates Mattias Ekstr\u00f6m and Tom Blomqvist. The manufacturers\u2019 championship was already safely in the hands of CUPRA EKS before. \u201cThe 2021 season was a great one for CUPRA in the ETCR series, but for 2022 we wanted to raise the competitiveness,\u201d says Xavi Serra, Head of CUPRA Racing. \u201cTo do so we renewed our driver line-up, did some technical modifications to the e-Racer and we added value to our engineering team doing a collaboration with our partner ABT, by incorporating their engineers to the technical team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xavi Serra is also pleased with the \u201coverlapping\u201d partnership between the two companies. \u201cOur collaboration with ABT comes from several years now, not only in racing such as in Extreme E and now ETCR, but also in road cars. CUPRA and ABT are both electric racing pioneers. ABT has had a great success story in Formula E with its own team, and CUPRA developed the e-Racer, the world\u2019s first all-electric touring car. CUPRA and ABT\u2019s partnership is proof of both brands\u2019 shared vision of reinventing the world of motorsport through electrification.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
