The
ever-popular Twingo Cup series returns this weekend with an event at Slovakia
Ring. And it looks like a very exciting weekend ahead as some of the most
experienced drivers like Petr Fulín, Mira Horňák and Samuel Sládečka join the
grid.
There will be 21 Renault Twingo cup cars in total, racing on this 5,922 metres
long track. A Slovenian driver Mark Škulj, who won 4 out of 6 races so far, is
the current championship leader but he can expect some tough opposition this
time.
Who are these three drivers? Miro Horňák is a Slovak champion in karts and
circuit racing, while Samuel Sládečka has vast experience with Lamborghini
Huracan sports cars as a Super Trofeo series regular. And then there is also
Petr Fulín, who will pose a huge threat for the Twingo Cup drivers as a
three-time European Touring Car champion.
„It‘s definitely an interesting idea. I enjoy watching the Twingo Cup and
even from the onboard videos it looks very enjoyable. It’ll be fun and that’s
how I approach this show. Our main focus is on the TCR and the Endurance
anyway,” said Petr Fulín.
Another interesting entry is an Italian Mini Challenge champion Paolo
Silvestrini. It will be interesting to watch how these drivers are going to do
against young and ambitious Twingo Cup regulars. But there are no doubts, that
fans will have a lot of fun watching both races. The first Sprint race is
scheduled for Saturday, 24th August at 15:10, while the second race is planned
for Sunday at 15:15.
