The Súper Copa Roshfrans 2025 is set to roar at the Autódromo de Yucatán on February 22 and 23, kicking off a season that promises speed, adrenaline, and, of course, a dose of controversy. Is this event a real boost for motorsport or a well-orchestrated commercial strategy? 🚥
KICKOFF IN YUCATÁN: STRATEGIC DECISION OR CLIMATE NECESSITY? 🌦️
The date change for Yucatán to host the first round of the championship was no coincidence. According to Michel Jourdain, director of the Súper Copa, it was due to climatic factors, aiming to avoid the hurricane season that affected last year’s finale. However, could this also be a move to capture a new market in a region with growing interest in motorsports? 🤔
ECONOMY VS. PASSION FOR MOTORSPORT 💰❤️
Maestro Armín Lizama, director of IDEY, highlighted the event’s economic impact, stating that “it generates significant economic benefits and promotes sports.” But here’s the question: is the real goal sports development or injecting capital into the region? Tickets range from 270 pesos in presale to 2,300 pesos in the hospitality zone. Accessible to everyone or a luxury for the few? 🎟️
THE DRIVERS: LOCAL PROMISES AND ASPHALT VETERANS 🏍️🏆
Notable names include Carlos Novelo in GTM Light, and Mexbike riders Santiago López and Zared León. Novelo claims he’ll fight for the championship to “elevate Yucatán’s motorsport,” while López, despite his young age, is ambitious: “my goal is very high.” But how much real visibility will these talents have amidst the dominance of brands and sponsors? 🤨
OVER 90 DRIVERS AND FOUR CATEGORIES: GUARANTEED SHOW OR OVERLOAD? 🚚🏍️🏎️
With categories like GTM, Tractocamiones, Mexbike, and F5, the event promises variety. However, could too much content dilute public attention and affect the show’s quality? Speed will take center stage, with bikes reaching 250 km/h on the main straight and corners taken at 160 km/h, but is that enough to keep the excitement alive for two full days? 😱
EMERSON FITTIPALDI CIRCUIT: A VENUE UP TO THE TASK? 🏟️
Patricia Montero assures that the circuit is “ready and will be dressed to impress,” but doubts arise about whether the infrastructure is adequate to support an event of this magnitude, both in terms of safety and comfort for attendees. 🚧
CONCLUSION: RACING TOWARD PROGRESS OR GOING IN CIRCLES? 🔄
The Súper Copa Roshfrans 2025 promises to be an unforgettable spectacle, but it’s not without its critics. Are we looking at an event that truly drives motorsport forward in Mexico, or just another showcase for commercial interests? The checkered flag will drop soon, and with it, perhaps some answers. 🏁
