A Scorpion weekend gets underway in Austria, with the Abarth Selenia Trophy and the ADAC-Abarth F4 Championship

  • The fifth date with the #abarth Selenia Trophy and the fifth stage of the ADAC #abarth F4 Championship will be held at the Red Bull Ring.
  • The #abarth #695assettocorse, 595 OT and single-seater Tatuus powered by #abarth will steal the show.
  • With the F4, Mick Schumacher is looking for the top spot in the general rankings.
  • In the #abarth Selenia Trophy, the fight among Italian, Scandinavian and Turkish pilots starts again.
  • The presence of "The Scorpionship" fans.

 

Next weekend, from Friday 22nd to Sunday 24th July, the Austrian Red Bull Ring circuit will be invaded by #abarth pilots and cars: it is the fifth date with the #abarth Selenia Trophy and the fifth stage of the ADAC-Abarth F4 Championship, with nearly 50 #abarth pilots in total.
A great show, considering the uncertainty in the two rankings. In the #abarth Selenia Trophy, Italian pilot Alex Campani is on top, with a 9-point advantage over the young Swedish Joakim Darbom, while in the German F4 championship, Australian Joey Mawson has a 20-point lead over the young German Mick Schumacher, this season's true revelation. He has already scored 6 victories: three in the German series and three in the Italian one.

 

In the #abarth Selenia Trophy, there is likely to be an open race between Italian pilots Alex Campani and Cosimo Barberini, Scandinavian Joakim Darbom and Juuso Pajuranta and Turkish Ygit Timur (winner of the last race held in Magione), Fatih Katra and Kuzey Eroldu.
It will be a packed race programme, with all categories' free practice sessions and the F4 qualifier practice on Friday (at 3.40 pm and 4.05 pm); the #abarth Selenia Trophy qualifiers on Saturday at 8.30 am and the F4 qualifying race at 11 am, a necessary step given the high number of very young pilots (nearly 40) from 20 different nations; at 2.45 pm the F4 Race1 and 5.20 pm the first leg of the #abarth Selenia Trophy; On Sunday, the F4 #abarth cars will race at 9.50 am for Race2 and 1.45 pm for Race3, while the second leg of the #abarth Selenia will take place at 3.35 pm.

 

Also on this occasion, the engines used by the ADAC-Abarth F4 Championship single seaters and by #abarth Selenia Trophy cars are the same ones found on the #abarth 595 range, with its three trim levels (595, 595 Turismo and 595 Competizione) and as many engine sizes, for the satisfaction of increasingly knowledgeable and demanding customers. Many of the upgrades introduced are the result of the experience gained with the development of the "smallest supercar": the two-seater 695 Biposto, "the smallest supercar", a road car that offers all the thrills and technology of a real #racing car.
Another great novelty is the #abarth 124 spider, designed to satisfy even the tastes of the most difficult-to-please drivers, the new Scorpion model is fitted out with rear-wheel drive, sophisticated suspension and a four-cylinder 1.4 MultiAir Turbo engine with 170 HP, paired with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic Sequenziale Sportivo gearbox with steering-wheel paddle shifters.

 

During the weekend, many fans of "The Scorpionship", the community of Scorpion fans, will be able to have a close look at all the day's action, from the paddocks and pit-lanes.
