Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
- Mattias Ekström finishes third in #copenhagen (Denmark) and scores important points in the championship battle
- Jordi Gené and #mikelazcona also fighting for the victory in the Danish capital and are among the top four in the overall standings
- Ekström sets fastest time of the weekend and wins the TAG Heuer Best Lap Trophy
Mattias Ekström and #cupra are still on the podium at #pureetcr. At the wheel of the all-electric #cupra e-Racer, Mattias finished third in the third round of the #pureetcr season, held in the city of #copenhagen (Denmark), allowing both the Swedish driver and #cupra to extend their lead at the top of the two championships at stake.
Ekström, third at Vallelunga (Italy) and winner at MotorLand-Aragon (Spain), continues his good run of results. In #copenhagen, the #cupra driver finished second in the first battle and won the second, before leading the qualifying session, in which he extracted the best performance from the #cupra e-Racer with the full power available for this event (300 kW). Mattias set the fastest time of the weekend, which enabled him to win the TAG Heuer Best Lap Trophy for the best lap, beating, among others, Jean-Karl Vernay, his main rival in the championship.
In the “Pool A” Super Final, Ekström fought for the victory from start to finish and he had an intense battle for the first place with Luca Filippi, who snatched the victory after overtaking him on the last lap. The Italian crossed the finish line just one tenth of a second ahead of the #cupra driver.
"Overall, I'm happy with our result and performance this weekend: we were on the podium and also the fastest team on track," said Ekström, the #pureetcr championship leader. "We always want to win, but what counts at the end of the season are the points you have in total, and we in #copenhagen have extended our lead. I'm happy and I'm already thinking about fighting for the win again in a few weeks in Hungary," he said.
In the "Pool B", which included Jordi Gené and #mikelazcona, the differences between drivers were also very small. The two Spaniards fought for the victory, although Philipp Eng, who made his debut this event with the Romeo Ferraris team and ended up crowning himself "King of the weekend", was unreachable for them. Jordi finished second and Mikel third.
In Copenhagen's final classification, bringing together all the weekend’s results, Ekström finished third behind the winner, Eng, and Luca Filippi. Jordi Gené finished fifth, #mikelazcona sixth and Dániel Nagy tenth. These results allow Ekström to extend his lead in the drivers' championship to 24 points over Vernay, and both Gené and Azcona remain in the fight for the title, in third and fourth positions respectively in the standings. #cupra X Zengő Motorsport is the leader in the manufacturers' classification, 46 points ahead of Romeo Ferraris.
Having passed the halfway point of the championship in the city of #denmark, #pureetcr will return to action at a historic circuit, Hungaroring (Hungary), from 20-22nd of August. It will be the fourth and penultimate round of the season, before the grand finale at the Inje Speedium in South Korea.
