As a Continental test driver and brand ambassador, Mikaela Ahlin-Kottulinsky has already played a key role in the development of the CrossContact Extreme E tire, with which all the race teams’ vehicles are equipped. She is proud and delighted that she can now participate in the racing series itself.
For the Swede, the collaboration with Continental began with a world record in 2018. She drove the car in the slipstream of which Dutch speed skater and Olympic gold medallist Kjeld Nuis skated to the spectacular speed of 93 km/h. Following this, she participated in the development of the IceContact 3 as a test driver.
In the races, which will be broadcast live all over Europe, all the teams will start with identical technical equipment: an SUV dubbed the ODYSSEY 21 and fitted with 37-inch CrossContact Extreme E racing tires, which have been specially developed for the series by technology company Continental and reliably bring the vehicle’s 550 HP to the track in all situations.
