The Twingo Cup is a championship, that doesn´t excel in speed or car size, but it absolutely shine when it comes to fighting on the track. The drivers are able to create a real show on the track, you will be able to see it next week in inaugural event of the season at the Hungaroring.
Renault Twingo is three and a half metre long, it does not have much power and it can take maybe only a medium-sized shopping. However, if you take away all the unnecessary accessories, add a roll cage, lower the ride height and fit slick tyres, this small car suddenly turns into a proper racing beast. And if you have twenty of them, the fun starts. Drivers fight for every centimetre of the track, attack every apex of every corner, fight wheel-to-wheel and use all the grip available.
What makes the Twingo Cup truly different is a fact, that all the cars are the same. Nobody has an advantage of a more effective suspension, a faster engine or better tyres. Technical regulations are in place to make sure, that only up to a driver’s talent and a bit of luck. Thanks to that, the battle for the win usually lasts until the last metres and the difference between the first and second is not more than just a few thousands of a second.
We will definitely see close fights this year as well. More than thirty drivers are on the starting list for this year’s inaugural event at the Hungaroring, and this is a guarantee of dramatic fights. The list of drivers includes the reigning Twingo Cup champion Nik Štefančič from Slovenia, as well as last year’s vice-champion Luka Glazer. Many drivers return to the Twingo Cup after the winter break, at the same time we will see many new faces. A lot of drivers will be at the Hungaroring, so we can look forward to their fierce battles.
