“It’s been a semi-successful season so far, but we’re still in the hunt. This year has been groundbreaking with the electric-powered EPWR cars, and the team has done a tremendous job adapting. With two races left, everything is still on the table, and we’re going to give it everything we’ve got to close the season on a high.” - Marcus Ekström, Team Principal CUPRA Sweden-PWR

‍“It’s been a season of ups and downs, but we’re still very much in the fight. Ring Knutstorp is a demanding circuit, and I’m eager to push the car to its limits. With only two races left in the STCC, we need to make every lap count. There’s no room for error.” - Robert Dahlgren, Driver CUPRA Sweden-PWR

“The break gave us time to analyze and reset. We’ve had some strong moments this year, but also some missed opportunities. Ring Knutstorp is going to be crucial, not just for us, but for everyone. It’s all about putting the pieces together and finishing the season strong.” - Axel Bengtsson, Driver CUPRA Sweden-PWR

“Being part of the first fully electric touring car championship has been an incredible experience. The technology is pushing us in new ways, and while we’ve faced challenges, we’re learning every race. I’m confident we can come back stronger at Knutstorp.” - Anton Marklund, Driver CUPRA Sweden-PWR
