\r\n\r\n\u201cWe had a great weekend here in Sardinia, which seems to be a proper RXR Island. Yesterday we managed to take the win from a very tricky grid slot, and then today, we found ourselves in the same slot again but went for a different tactic, and when I saw a small gap I went for it. For a split second, I regretted it because there was no space, but I managed to get through, and from there, I managed the pace quite well,\u201d said team driver Johan Kristoffersson.\r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/ExtremeE-Round-6-1024x683.jpg\")

\r\n\r\nTeam drivers Kevin Hansen and Molly Taylor led the main race from start to finish. Behind them in second was the NEOM McLaren team who secured their second ever podium finish.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe had a tough weekend, much tougher than Saudi Arabia. We didn\u2019t really have anything on our side yesterday, so to finally get into the Grand Final and have all our support on GridPlay really helped. It was nice after Friday, with our double P1s in Free Practice, to come back and actually get on top! It was a huge effort from the team to pull through in such difficult conditions.

\r\n\r\n\u201cThe Race of Champions has meant a lot to me in my career. It\u2019s very special to have four wins and even more special to do it in Sweden. I won my first final at the Stade de France in Paris against S\u00e9bastien Loeb, then I had two finals with Michael Schumacher in London and Beijing, so to see Mick in the final today was very emotional for me,\u201d said Ekstrom.\r\n\r\nEkstrom\u2019s teammate, Johan Kristoffersson said he was able to squeeze out some tips and tricks from his former competitor.","excerpt":"![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/CarlCoxExtremeE_Group-1024x683.jpg\")
\r\n\r\n\u201cI\u2019m here to make a difference. To have the opportunity to be part of something so dynamic on four wheels is a dream come true. Racing, like music, is in my blood and I\u2019m going to bring my passion and energy into this series and build something special. Participating in electric racing is new to me but I\u2019m a fast learner and will bring my hard earned know how and experience into the mix at Extreme E. Carl Cox Motorsport is here to take on all comers and we are going to jump straight in. We are in it to win it,\u201d said Cox.\r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/CarlCoxExtremeE_Car-1024x576.jpg\")
\r\n\r\nCox attended last year\u2019s double header race in Sardinia and was given a lap around the course in an Extreme E vehicle. Cox has not announced which drivers will be on his new team.","excerpt":"
