ACCIONA|SAINZ XE TEAM WINS ITS FIRST EXTREME E RACE IN SAUDI ARABIA

The ACCIONA | SAINZ XE Team completed the most brilliant result of its career in Extreme E with the victory in the second round of the Desert X Prix. The ACCIONA team achieved its first triumph in an Extreme E event and the first time that a Spanish team reached the top of the podium in the electric off-road competition.

Mattias Ekström and Laia Sanz dominated the Grand Final, under the watchful eye of Carlos Sainz, who collected the trophy for the winning team. The title represents the reward for more than two years of continuous growth for a team that today aspires to fight for the championship.

The 25 points obtained today, added to the 21 from yesterday’s race, in which the ACCIONA | SAINZ XE Team finished second, put them at the top of the series, tied on 46 points with Veloce.

ACCIONA | SAINZ XE Team’s victory confirms its growth and that its members have the potential to fight for victories and the Extreme E championship. The next round is the Hydro X Prix, to be held in Scotland on May 13th and 14th.
