Rosberg X Racing’s Johan Kristoffersson and Mikaela Ahlin-Kottulinsky claimed the 2023 Extreme E title in bizarre fashion after a crazy final in Chile where both title-chasing teams hit trouble.
Acciona Sainz might not have entered Sunday’s Extreme E final with the points lead, but they exited the second corner of the four-lap race in the hot seat, looking on course to claim a maiden championship title.
“This is pretty much Extreme E.never give up. Anything can happen.” The words of Mikaela Ahlin-Kottulinsky have never been more apt. Going into Sunday’s Extreme E season finale in Chile, Ahlin-Kottulinsky and her Rosberg X Racing teammate Johan Kristoffersson only needed to finish ahea.
Rosberg X Racing (RXR) took the win in Round 9, marking the team’s third victory of Season 3 and first victory in Chile at the Antofagasta Minerals Copper X Prix.
