RXR Brings Home Second Extreme E Title

RXR Brings Home Second Extreme E Title

In a dramatic finale, the Rosberg X Racing (RXR) team of Johan Kristoffersson and Mikaela Ahlin-Kottulinsky brought home the second RXR title in Chile over the weekend. The team limped their damaged Odyssey 21 vehicle across the finish line in second place. RXR beat the Acciona/Sainz team on points after Laia Sanz rolled the vehicle in the final stages.

After an intense season, winning the Extreme E Championship for a second time is incredible. ASXE put up an impressive fight this season, and I enjoyed every minute of the battles. I want to dedicate this win to Kyle LeDuc, who sadly passed away recently and who we will miss racing against,” said Kristoffersson.

Veloce Racing took the final stage win but only secured a third place in the championship standings. Four minutes later the RXR team crossed the finish line and had enough points for the title. This is Kottulinsky’s first title with the team.
