Pure ETCR seduces Copenhagen

C’est un samedi pour le moins compliqué qu’on dû affronter les concurrents du Pure ETCR. La pluie est venue semer le trouble dans les rangs des concurrents, les pneumatiques fournis par le manufacturier Goodyear montrant quelques difficultés à se mettre en température sur une piste humide. La direction de course a décidé de décaler une partie de la journée pour que les différentes battle puissent se disputer dans des conditions d’adhérence adéquates. Avant l’interruption, le groupe A, composé d’Oliver Webb (Romeo Ferraris), John Filippi (Hyundai) et Daniel Nagy (Cupra racing) mais aussi de Jean karl Vernay (Hyundai) Luca filippi (Romeo Ferraris) et Mattias Ekström (Cupra racing), a pu disputer ses premières battles. Ce sont Webb et Vernay qui ont su tirer profit de ces manches disputées à 300 kW (sans power up). 

In group B, composed of Augusto Farfus (Hyundai), Jordi Gené (Cupra Racing), Rodrigo Baptista (Romeo Ferraris), Tom Chilton (Hyundai), Mikel Azcona (Cupra racing) and the latest addition Philipp Eng (Romeo Ferraris) . It was Farfus and Eng who each won a “battle”. This is a big first for the Austrian on the Italian team. Eng came to fill the vacant seat at Romeo Ferraris following the departure of Stefano Coletti. 

In the battles of the last round on Saturday it was Vernay, Ekstrom and Luca Filippi who won for Group A. In group B Farfus, Azcona and Gené won in Group B. Before the last day of competition we we find Jean Karl Vernay at the head of group A, Mikel Azcona leading group B. The championship leader nevertheless remains Ekstrom 17 points ahead of Vernay. 

The debates resume tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. in the streets of Copenhagen.
