AN ICONIC CIRCUIT WITH EXTREME ALTITUDE 🏔️
The Mexico City E-Prix is just around the corner, and CUPRA KIRO arrives with renewed ambition and a fresh design to be unveiled on January 10. This circuit, located in the heart of Mexico City, is not only one of the most iconic on the calendar but also represents one of the toughest technical challenges due to its altitude of over 2,000 meters above sea level.
The thinner air at this altitude 🪁 allows the cars to reach higher speeds and optimize energy efficiency. However, this same condition results in significant wear on the new-generation Hankook tires, adding an extra layer of difficulty.
A PROMISING DEBUT SEASON 🚀
CUPRA KIRO began its Formula E journey with a solid performance at the São Paulo E-Prix last December. The team’s drivers, Dan Ticktum and David Beckmann, secured top-10 finishes, marking a promising start. Ticktum clinched a historic eighth place, earning the team its first championship points.
“This circuit demands precision and a perfect car setup to balance speed and durability. The key will be adapting quickly to the conditions,” said one of the team’s engineers.
MEXICO CITY: A STAGE OF THRILLS AND CHALLENGES 🌆🔥
With its vibrant population and electrifying atmosphere, Mexico City has become a cornerstone of the Formula E calendar. The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, with its long straights and challenging corners, will test both the physical endurance of the drivers and the engineering of the race cars.
The crowd, known for its boundless enthusiasm, is expected to pack the stands and bring a unique energy to the event. CUPRA KIRO aims to harness this energy and solidify its position in the championship, where they currently sit in sixth place in the team standings.
HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR THE WEEKEND 🏁✨
Heading into this second round, CUPRA KIRO is just two points away from overtaking Envision Racing, intensifying the mid-table competition. Strategy will be key, and the team is prepared to fine-tune every detail in real time.
“The Mexico City E-Prix is always unpredictable, but it’s that very uncertainty that makes it so exciting. We’re ready to give it our all,” said Dan Ticktum, eager to take on the challenge.
This weekend, the asphalt of the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez promises to be the stage for an adrenaline-filled battle where limits will once again be pushed to the edge. 🌟
