Drivers #robinfrijns and #nicomuller will give the Gen3 #formulae car – which is the fastest, lightest, most powerful, most efficient, and most sustainable electric single-seater #racing car ever created – its race debut around the 2.628km Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez track.

Pre-season testing with the new Gen3 car, which is significantly different to the Gen2 it replaces, has been achieved in the short time frame has been extremely positive and the experience and expertise of the entire ABT #cupra squad (ABT is the most successful team in the series with 47 podium finishes in seven years) ensures that the team arrives in Mexico looking forward to the first race of the new season.

This expertise includes the #cupra drivers. #robinfrijns has participated in six seasons in #formulae, with the 31-year-old Dutchman scoring two race wins. #nicomuller has been involved in #formulae since the 2017-18 season, initially as a test, development and reserve driver before making his race debut in the 2019-20 series. The 30-year-old Swiss pilot returns to the series for the first time since the Monaco E-Prix in Season 7.#cupra team ready for its #formulae race debut in #mexicocity this weekend" data-desc-gallery="ABT #cupra team ready for its #formulae race debut in #mexicocity this weekend" data-date-gallery="11-01-2023" data-download="HQ||8192x5464||/content/dam/seat-media-center/allnews/news/2023/01/2023-01-11e/ABT-CUPRA-team-ready-for-its-Formula-E-race-debut-in-Mexico-City-this-weekend_02_HQ.jpg" data-url="/content/global/smc-website/en/cupra-brand/racing/2023/ABT-CUPRA-team-ready-for-its-Formula-E-race-debut-in-Mexico-City-this-weekend/jcr:content/article/single_multimedia_co">

Robin Frijns says: “We didn’t spend much time in the race car before this season, so the season opener in Mexico will certainly be a big challenge for our team. We have to approach it step by step. But if we don’t make any mistakes and the car plays along, we’re also in a position to drive for good points.”

Nico Müller adds: “Mexico is the perfect location for the season opener. The atmosphere with the enthusiastic #people there is unique – especially in the stadium, where you can hear the fans even in the race car. Seeing how the Mexicans live and share the passion for motorsport gives an extra dose of motivation.”#cupra team ready for its #formulae race debut in #mexicocity this weekend" data-desc-gallery="ABT #cupra team ready for its #formulae race debut in #mexicocity this weekend" data-date-gallery="11-01-2023" data-download="HQ||4001x2668||/content/dam/seat-media-center/allnews/news/2023/01/2023-01-11e/ABT-CUPRA-team-ready-for-its-Formula-E-race-debut-in-Mexico-City-this-weekend_03_HQ.jpg" data-url="/content/global/smc-website/en/cupra-brand/racing/2023/ABT-CUPRA-team-ready-for-its-Formula-E-race-debut-in-Mexico-City-this-weekend/jcr:content/article/single_multimedia_co_739779633">
