The Ring Knutstorp circuit, with its notoriously challenging terrain, certainly pushed the CUPRA Sweden-PWR team to their limits. Despite a determined effort, the team faced ongoing struggles with cracking the code on their cars' performance. A combination of tough competition and technical issues kept us from securing consistent results. While the weekend didn’t go as planned, the drivers pushed through with determination, showing resilience in the face of adversity. Every lap was a lesson learned, and those lessons will power the team as they prepare for the final race of the season.
"We knew Ring Knutstorp would be a challenge, as we have been struggling with the cars and have not performed this season as we had hoped. While we didn’t achieve the results we wanted, we’re focusing on the positives. The season isn’t over yet, and we’ll be ready to fight in Mantorp". - Marcus Ekström, Team Principal CUPRA Sweden-PWR
