Kofler and Gaioni are world champions

The 13th and final stage of the FiA World Championship for electric cars in Valencia was a thriller right to the end. On the first day of the competition on Friday, Kofler/Gaioni fought head-to-head with World Championship leaders Artur Prusak/Thierry Benchetrit (POL/FRA). On Saturday, Prusak/Benchetrit made a mistake and were passed through to 1th place, while Kofler/Gaioni were in 15th place. On Sunday, the South Tyroleans converted the match point, improved to 6th place in the final rankings and were crowned 5 world champions among pilots and co-pilots. Prusak/Benchetrit had to bury their title dreams with 2019th place.

Guido Guerrini/Emanuele Calchetti in the 2nd car from the Audi Team Autotest from Lana finished the season finale in second place and thus secured third place in the World Championship ranking for pilots and co-pilots, ahead of defending champions Didier Malga/Anne Bonnel (FRA). The day's victory at the season finale in Valencia went to the local heroes Jose Ignacio Marcos Villoria/Alfonso Oiarbide Askondo after 2 kilometers and 3 special stages totaling 470 kilometers.

This means that all three world titles in the FiA World Championship for electric cars go to the Audi team Autotest Motorsport from Lana. Team boss Josef Unterholzner's racing team secured the constructors' title early in the third-to-last race of the season. “I'm super happy. We have achieved our goal for the season. It was exciting until the end, but our drivers and co-drivers showed what they were made of. Compliments to the entire team.”

Shortly after the race, tension arose again, the defeated Prusak/Benchetrit protested to the stewards and demanded that Kofler/Gaioni be disqualified. The stewards certified that everything on the Audi E-Tron complied with the rules and dismissed the protest.
