The Cupra e-Racer the first ever fully electric competition touring car from Seat, which the brand is developing with the help of Jordi Gene.

After enjoying several successes in the WTCC series and his prior experience as a F1 test driver, Gene's expertise have combined with the work carried out by the Cupra technical team with the aim of the e-Racer having its own electric touring car category, the eTCR, in the championship in 2020.

Following recent battery tests carried out at the Grobnik track in Croatia, these new dynamic tests were used to verify the maximum output of the engines, power management - particularly regarding temperature of the batteries and other elements - and its driveability through closely examining accelerator response, braking and energy recovery.

The goal of these sessions is to continue making adjustments to maximise the performance and reliability of every component. During the next round of testing in September, engineers and technicians will focus on reducing the lap times of this electric completion touring car, which aims to unseat all current TCRs on track to take home the championship win.
