Chip Ganassi Racing’s scored their first Extreme E win in the Sardinia X Prix in Italy. Kyle LeDuc and Sara Price in the No.99 GMC HUMMER EV took their maiden victory on Thursday.

Speaking following the event, LeDuc said:

If you look at the numbers, we went from first in practice, to last in qualifying and back to first as the race winners. It was a rollercoaster ride, and I don’t know how to put it into words, but we all did our job today. We have a great GMC HUMMER EV team where everyone works so hard. We’re ready to take this success and apply it to the next race this weekend.”

Sara Price commented on the win saying:

We did what we had to do to get through the Crazy Race today. We were consistent and pushed through the Final race to get our first win. It was such a team effort all around; I’m so proud of everyone. We made some serious progress this week and I’m ready to take on round three this weekend.”

Ganassi inherited the win after RXR were handed a penalty for causing an accident with Carlos Sainz. Speaking following the action, Alejandro Agag commented saying:

Carlos Sainz Snr. from the ACCIONA | SAINZ XE Team was involved in a collision with Rosberg X Racing in the opening moments of Extreme E’s NEOM Island X Prix I Final, in Sardinia this afternoon. He received a full check up in hospital as a precaution but was cleared and released this evening.

“The safety of our drivers is our greatest concern. Myself, along with the whole Extreme E family wish Carlos well and we hope to see him back in action this weekend for the next X Prix.”
