Klara Andersson will replace Jutta Kleinschmidt in the Extreme E ABT Cupra team, recovered from an accident at the previous race in Chile.
The 22-year-old Swede will start alongside Nasser Al-Attiyah for ABT Cupra XE.
Already at the series’ event in the Atacama Desert, Andersson had spontaneously stepped in after free practice and surprisingly clinched a trophy together with Al-Attiyah.
I think Extreme E is super cool. The championship combines motorsport with a clear message, lets men and women compete together, comes to the most spectacular places around the world – says Klara Andersson.
We are in constant touch with Jutta and sincerely wish her a continued good recovery – says ABT CEO Thomas Biermaier. At the same time, we are pleased that we managed to have Klara in the team for the season finale after her strong debut in Chile. After the podium finish, our goal is clear: we want to end our second season in Extreme E, in which there have been some ups and downs, on a high.
