Extreme E S3 - Island X Prix II

The third season of Extreme E just got an extended stay in Sardinia for a two-part encore of the Island X Prix, which will serve as the penultimate leg of the season. In this encore, a word from McLaren is that following the injury from Emma Gilmour, championship driver Tamara Molinaro took over her place, driving alongside Tanner Foust for the said team. Also, Ken Block's daughter, Lia, returns as she's representing the Carl Cox Motorsports bandwagon again.

In the first part of the Island X Prix encore, the Acciona Sainz team of Mattias Ekstrom and Laia Sainz are the winners, beating the likes of ABT Cupra and Veloce Racing. In the final part, meanwhile, last year's champions, X44, blew away RXR and Cupra for the win.

After the Sardinia encore performance, Acciona Sainz and RXR are now three points apart, 139 vs. 136.
