ROKiT Venturi Racing Team wins F-E: Accelerate Championship

After six hard-fought races, ROKiT Venturi Racing son the Team's Championship Title in the Grand Final of Formula E: Accelerate, by beating Dragon Penske Autosport and BMW i Andretti to the top spot.

Holding three victories and four podiums from five races, Monaco’s only racing team and driver, Erhan Jajovski held P1 in both the Teams’ and Drivers’ Standings, however, with double points on offer, there was still everything to play for in Round 6.

In qualifying for the final race of the season, Erhan secured P3 on the grid while team-mate, Lorenz Hoerzing, maintained his upward trajectory in one-lap pace by netting P7.

With Drivers’ Championship rival Frederik Rasmussen starting from pole position, it was vital for Erhan to overtake, and when the 25-minute race got underway, the Macedonian maintained a competitive P3.

When Rasmussen set the fastest lap – a landmark moment in the title fight – Erhan soon began to fight back but contact with the wall on a push lap heavily impacted the 25-year-old’s car performance.

This forced Erhan into a defensive approach, but with a deficit in straight-line speed, he slipped down to P5, getting overtaken by Jarno Opmeer and Kevin Siggy in the final minutes.

Erhan maintained this position until the chequered flag waved to front a haul of 28 points as Lorenz secured P8 after a hotly contested fight for the final points-paying positions.

By taking P5, Erhan secured the Formula E: Accelerate Vice-Championship, eight points stretched off Rasmussen's, although the fight for the Team's Title far from over.

In the second leg of the Accelerate Driver Challenge, a win for Edoardo Mortara extended ROKiT Venturi Racing’s total tally by a further 25 points.

With a total of 195 points on the board, the Monegasque marque secured the Team's Championship Title, finishing 36 points clear of the rest of the Formula E field.
