Extreme E - Ocean X Prix

The inaugural Extreme E continues on the beaches of Dakar, Senegal, for the Ocean X Prix where drivers are going all out to survive the intense off-road racing action at the beach.

In the first semi-finals, teams RXR and X44 got advanced to the finals while the second semis saw a win for JBXE. The ABT Cupra, Veloce, and XITE ENERGY, the ones that failed the semis, are in the Crazy Race wildcard round and the Veloce team made it to the finals.

The finals saw a dramatic start where the team X44 and JBXE went off the course, triggering a red flag. As the race restart, teams RXR and Veloce are getting aggressive as they sprint towards the endgame.
