Romeo Ferraris brings a great technical innovation to the final of the PURE ETCR championship on the Pau-Arnos track, on the weekend of 15-17 October: the Giulia ETCRs of the Opera manufacturer will use a bodywork with hemp fiber components for the first time.
A project that involves other Italian companies, the Fibertech Group of Mornago (Varese) as a supplier of materials in collaboration with the Linificio and Canapificio Nazionale, and the Bercella of Varano de ‘Melegari (Parma), already in charge of designing and building the first version of the bodywork in carbon fiber only.
The Giulia ETCR by Romeo Ferraris driven by Rodrigo Baptista, Luca Filippi, Philipp Eng and Oliver Webb in Pau-Arnos will now mount some parts of the body made of the MJ 404/100 fabric, called “Turkish satin hemp”. Fibers of vegetable origin are experiencing increasing applications also in the automotive sector, thanks to their eco-sustainability combined with excellent values of weight, elasticity and resistance, superior to glass fiber and comparable to carbon, which in the last forty years has become a standard. in the racing world.
The road traveled by Romeo Ferraris is perfectly in line with the philosophy of PURE ETCR, the series for electric touring cars inaugurated this season to explore new propulsion technologies linked to the mobility of the future. Discovery Events, organizer of the championship, from the beginning has thought of various initiatives in favor of sustainability, including the choice of race venues, logistics, car refilling systems or the reduction of consumables, for example with tires. Goodyear suitable for all weather conditions.
Thanks also to this historic novelty, Romeo Ferraris aims to end this first edition of the PURE ETCR in the best possible way, in which it also managed to win the stage on the Copenhagen street circuit. Baptista, currently fifth in the overall standings with 197 points, is among the contenders for the 2021 title.

Michela Cerruti, Romeo Ferraris Team Principal: “We are really proud to be able to announce this technical innovation for the season finale in PURE ETCR. The use of hemp fiber for some bodywork components demonstrates, on the one hand, our constant search for improvements and innovations for the Giulia ETCR project, on the other hand the desire to offer a concrete contribution to eco-sustainability, a terrain on which motorsport itself plays an important part of its future “.
“We at Romeo Ferraris immediately decided to accept the challenge of a championship like the PURE ETCR, with fully electric cars that act as a test bed for solutions that we will soon be able to find on everyday vehicles. In addition to strictly motoring, this process can occur in the development of cutting-edge materials, just like those of vegetable origin on which we worked together with Fibertech Group and Bercella, two Italian excellences “.
Massimo Bercella, CEO of Bercella Srl: “We are proud to have done our part in the transition that will lead to a greener future, from which even Motorsport can no longer ignore, as a laboratory of the highest level of the trends that will later constitute the road mobility of tomorrow “.
“Composites constitute our corporate expertise and seeing their change towards increasingly sustainable materials and processing techniques makes us confirm as pioneers for the new initiatives that make up our present and that we will have the opportunity to develop more in depth in the future”.
Gianpaolo Coppi, Fibertech Group Marketing Director: “Fibertech Group is proud to participate in this initiative aimed at eco-sustainable development, which we also pursue in traditional materials such as solvent-free carbon”.
