A new Extreme E<\/strong> season is about to begin for Rosberg X Racing (RXR),<\/strong> as the third campaign of the 100% electric purpose-built off-road racing series kicks off next March, with Mikaela \u00c5hlin-Kottulinsky and Johan Kristoffersson once again driving the ODYSSEY 21.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The two teamed up in the previous season<\/strong>, coming very close to being crowned champion<\/strong> and making the team of Formula 1 champion Nico Rosberg a two-time champion of the series. However, in the final race they lost important and painful ground, which X44 took advantage of to snatch the trophy from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the case of Johan Kristoffersson<\/strong>, this will be his third consecutive season as an RXR driver<\/strong>, who has been with the team since the beginning, being part of the title obtained in season 1 together with Molly Taylor, his racing partner at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other hand, Mikaela \u00c5hlin-Kottulinsky’s outlook is different<\/strong>, given that this will be her second campaign with the organization, after arriving as Molly Taylor’s replacement in the category’s second campaign. Now, both will climb back into the 1,780-kilogram all-terrain vehicle<\/strong>, with the advantage of having competed for a full season, gaining experience and getting to know each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
