Philipp Eng will replace Stefano Coletti at Romeo Ferraris in this year’s PURE ETCR electric touring car series, getting behind the wheel of an Alfa Romeo Giulia ETCR at next month’s Copenhagen street race.

Rodrigo Baptista believes that Romeo Ferraris will son be able to claim an overall victory in PURE ETCR, after the Alfa Romeo driver ended the weekend in Aragón in third overall.

Hyundai’s Augusto Farfus says his job was ‘beautifully done’ in the second PURE ETCR event at Aragón, despite the Brazilian having missed out on being the high scorer of the weekend to Mattias Ekström.

Mattias Ekström has called on more manufacturers to enter into the electric touring car series PURE ETCR, after admitting that he is enjoying the racing more than he expected in the new series.

CUPRA’s Mattias Ekström emerged from Sunday’s PURE ETCR racing as the new championship leader, after the Swede won his SuperFinal race to move to the top of the standings, as Hyundai’s Augusto Farfus also won his Pool.
