Extreme E: Team Abt Cupra XE full in the points 🎥

These successful rounds seven and eight of the current Extreme E season provide plenty of confidence and anticipation for the final event of the year. The season finale of the series for electric off-road racing cars is the Copper X Prix in Chile, which will be held on December 2 and 3. The video shows races five and six, which were also held in Sardinia.

Sébastien Loeb: "We had a good car, the team and Klara did a mega job in races seven and eight. Two podiums and the most points - of course we're happy about that, even though we would have liked to win."

A flat tire cost points

On Saturday, the duo of Klara Andersson and Sébastien Loeb put in an impressive recovery and fought their way up from last to second place. However, the team was unlucky in the final because after a spirited overtaking maneuver, Klara Andersson caught a flat tire, but still steered the battered Cupra Tavascan XE to the finish and saved second place.

Klara Andersson: "It was pure chaos. We had to give everything for the two trophies and together with the whole team we are enormously proud of that. After second and third places, the goal for the two races in Chile should be clear," "

Best team of the weekend

On Sunday, victory seemed within reach, but not everything went perfectly here either. In the final, Sébastien Loeb attacked the leader as early as the first lap, but a defect in the wiper water system caused problems. The final thus contained an additional degree of difficulty for the Frenchman and later also for Klara Andersson, but they mastered it. Team Abt Cupra took third place on the second day and, with a total of 35 points, the most points over the entire weekend.
