This weekend, the Formula E Racing season draws to a close in New York City. After a successful run in ten cities around the world, the electric cars will compete for one last time on the Brooklyn Circuit.

SEAT's newly launched car brand CUPRA is also reinventing e-competition racing at lightning speed. It test-drove its e-Racer for the first time in Zagreb, Croatia, and believe it or not, the battery pack on this fully electric touring racecar is made up of 6,072 round cell batteries, which is equivalent to a battery for 9,000 mobile phones.

Meanwhile, CUPRA challenged MotoGP riders Andrea Dovizioso and Jorge Lorenzo to take the competition car for a spin. What was it like? According to Andrea: “The CUPRA TCR is extremely powerful, I love how it feels to drive“.
