CUPRA will fight for its first Extreme E trophy in Greenland
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
- The ABT #cupra XE team is ready to fight for victory in the Arctic X Prix and climb up the championship standings
- Mattias Ekström and Jutta Kleinschmidt will race with the e-CUPRA ABT XE1 for the remainder of the season
- Extreme E becomes the first motorsport event to be held in Greenland
The #extremee returns to action in one of the most remote places on the planet and where the effects of climate change are particularly visible. The Arctic X Prix, the third event of the season, takes place in Kangerlussuaq (Greenland), a town north of the Arctic Circle where Mattias Ekström and Jutta Kleinschmidt will fight for the first victory of the ABT #cupra XE team in the championship.
The Arctic X Prix takes place exactly three months after the Ocean X Prix in Dakar (Senegal). Next to Lac Rose, the historic finish line of the Dakar Rally, Ekström and Kleinschmidt - making her debut- fell just short of reaching a final where they aimed to fight for the first championship win in the e-CUPRA ABT XE1, the brand's 400 kW (550 PS) 100% electric SUV, ready to tackle all types of surfaces and conditions.
From Dakar, the #extremee now travels to a completely different and unprecedented place for motorsport: #greenland. The largest island in the world, with 2.166 million square kilometers of extension, hosts the third round of the championship season in Kangerlussuaq. This town, located 50 kilometers from the Arctic Circle, is part of the municipality of Qeqqata and is home to Greenland's most important commercial airport. Kangerlussuaq is also home to the Russell Glacier, so competing there is ideal for raising awareness of the rate at which Arctic ice is melting.
The course has been designed around a large, relatively open plain at the edge of the Russell Glacier, just outside the town of Kangerlussuaq. The terrain has a mixture of rock sizes from large boulders down to a fine glacial sediment and sand dunes, crafted and shaped by the wind blowing down the valley and the melting water coming off the glacier.
"From the Saudi Arabian desert, we went all the way to Dakar's Lac Rose... and now we're going all the way to Greenland! #extremee pushes the adaptability of everyone involved to the limit: no two races are alike," explains Mattias Ekström, official male driver of the ABT #cupra XE team. "After the first two events of the season, where we had speed, but didn't get the results we deserved, we only have one goal in mind: winning the Arctic X Prix and make history in Greenland!".
