After successfully debuting in the past season under Pure ETCR’s name, the competition took a quality jump in 2022 after receiving approval from the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile and being called FIA ETCR for the current season that started with the right foot in Francen under a television broadcast on a global scale.
From May 6-8, FIA ETCR was raced in Pau Ville, where Mattias Ekström and Cupra Racing took the victory, with multiple cameras from television networks that were there covering the championship, broadcasting the actions of the 100% electric touring car series in America , Europe, Asia, the Caribbean and the Pacific.
“Our broadcast strategy brings FIA ETCR to a new and increased audience in 2022. With traditional linear channels and OTT broadcasters available everywhere, anytime, and on every device, we fulfil our mission to bring electric racing to a larger audience and showcase sustainable motorsport and electromobility”, said Xavier Gavory, director of the competition.
