Profi, a Romanian company headquartered in Timișoara, is supporting as the main partner the first edition of the National Super Rally Championship in this locality. The competition is part of the calendar of the Romanian Motorsport Federation.

"The rapid development of our network of stores with daily low prices for residents across the country is reminiscent of the speed and precision demonstrated by Super Rally competitors," says Gabriela Sîrbu, Director of Sustainability at Profi.

"We are proud to establish the Profi Trophy to support the current edition of the competition, bringing an added interest to the European cultural capital, which is also the capital of our store network."

Under these auspices, for two days on the street circuit of Piața Iancu Huniade, motorsport enthusiasts will be able to watch their heroes in action. A total of 30 top competitors are set to start in the 3.5 km Timișoara circuit, which consists of three laps with chicanes designed to increase its level of difficulty.

This afternoon, administrative and technical checks take place, and starting from 19:30, the Festive Start will be held with the presentation of competitors at Iulius Town. On Saturday, reconnaissance runs will begin at 09:00, followed by the four practice runs scheduled for 10:00.

The two competition runs will be broadcast live on Prima Sport and the FRAS YouTube channel, starting at 14:00. The winners of the Profi Trophy stage will be awarded at the Awards Ceremony in the service park at 16:00.
