The challenge

Carry a performance brand at full force.

CUPRA needed a platform that could carry the brand at full force across a dealer network, brand launches and a market moving fast toward electrification.

What we built

A team that won. An activation that sold.

A racing programme that won, and a commercial activation that sold: race cars, championship drivers and sim racing at dealer events and CUPRA Garage openings across Sweden. Gender equality as a standard from day one, with female drivers and mechanics.

Large crowd of race fans

The Result

Track performance, converted into commercial results.

Nine STCC titles and a historic 2022 grand slam, a first in STCC history.

The first woman to win an STCC race.

All 12 cars in the first fully electric STCC engineered by E-PWR.

“We are delighted to continue partnering with the PWR Group, driving the shift towards cleaner, more efficient mobility that benefits society and the planet.”
