Jutta Kleinschmidt to race Extreme E for ABT CUPRA XE

The first, and so far only female winner of the legendary Dakar Rally will share the cockpit with Mattias Ekström with immediate effect and for the remaining three races of the season in the all-electric off-road series. The sporting focus will be entirely on the race in Greenland, which will be held during the last weekend in August.

I'm really looking forward to this new challenge, the preparation with the ABT team and of course to work with Mattias. At first, I followed the series from the organisers' point of view, then I got a spontaneous drive and now, together with Mattias, I'm actually a permanent member of the family of drivers. I'm very happy for the chance to compete at the highest level again
