Extreme E Season 2 looked to follow a similar story, with the season-opener going the way of RXR once again. Out of the five X Prix in the calendar, Rosberg’s outfit finished as fastest qualifiers three times, and took the top step of the podium twice – the second coming at the NEOM Island X Prix II in Sardinia.
However, mechanical issues in Chile meant the team failed to start an Extreme E Final for the first time. Falling short of a spot in the Final in the last round in Uruguay, RXR finished just two points behind champions X44 Vida Carbon Racing.
Led by Rosberg, 2016 Formula 1 World Champion, the team is an evolution of Team Rosberg, founded in 1994 by Nico’s father and 1982 F1 World Champion, Keke Rosberg. RXR builds on the team’s success in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM) series as well as Nico’s post-F1 career as an entrepreneur in the field of sustainable mobility.
Reason behind the number: Homage to Nico’s father Keke Rosberg who raced with #6
