Last weekend at Zolder, the CUPRA EKS team proved that to win an FIA ETCR race, you need to adapt and learn constantly 💪 Read more about their weekend here ⬇️ ➡️ ETCR CUPRA Ad Autosport
Friday free practice sessions are not for strolling around, especially in a championship like the FIA ETCR where time is always against you.
The first laps reveal a lot of new things. The settings used on the Jarama circuit are not valid for a quite different circuit like Zolder. A very demanding track for the brakes, with little grip and very fast. The engineers and mechanics receive a lot of information in real time but the solutions have to be as accurate as possible in order to win.
On the weekend you have to be constantly changing. The times reveal whether you have made the best decisions or have to come up with alternatives. For the CUPRA EKS team, it was clear on Friday that they were behind in terms of pace, as both the Hyundai and the Romeo Ferrari were faster. However, as the laps of the Zolder circuit went by, the Spanish team made progress in terms of lap times and put their drivers at the top of the timesheets.
As Xavi Serra, head of Technical Development of CUPRA Racing, commented, Zolder proved to be quite a challenge for his team.
