After making their season debut in Saudi Arabia, the ABT CUPRA XE team drivers Jutta Kleinschmidt and Nasser Al-Attiyah are ready for a new challenge. This time it will be a double-header on the island of Sardinia, Italy, with two races taking place on 6-7 July and 9-10 July. The tracks of the Nasser Racing Camp in Spain set the stage to prepare the CUPRA Tavascan XE to face one of the most complicated locations of the season, with 4 days of races on a very uneven circuit, which will make it the most demanding X Prix so far.
Fully prepared body and mind. During the nearly six-month break between the race in Saudi Arabia and the two taking place in Sardinia, the drivers have not only taken the opportunity to get to know the car better and train physically, but according to ABT CUPRA XE driver Jutta Kleinschmidt, “I’ve done a lot of mental training as well, because in this type of race it’s very important, as concentration is everything. After several months, I’m really looking forward to getting in the car and to the races in Sardinia” she says. Her team-mate Nasser Al-Attiyah has also been making the most of the time between races; “I’ve been training a lot, competing in races non-stop to be ready, and I definitely am.” An upgraded CUPRA Tavascan XE. With the drivers ready to go, the CUPRA Tavascan XE also needed some fine tuning of its own. That’s why the whole team went to the Nasser Racing Camp a week ago to carry out the final tests. “It was a very productive three days. We tested the new suspension and it’s fantastic. It’s a lot more fun and the car can handle the bumps without any problems. This is going to be very useful for us in Sardinia” says Jutta.
