Kristensen’s esports racing team TK9 E-SPeeD and Grosjean’s ACER VERO R8G largely dominated the action at the inaugural French eX Prix at Le Mans – led by Lasse Sørensen and Jiri Toman, who had already fought a spectacular duel for victory at the season opener at Silverstone.
After two pole positions in a row for Toman, Sørensen managed to turn the tables for the first time this year in qualifying at Le Mans: The Dane was ahead by just 27 thousandths of a second. With an impressive lap time of 3m 07.236s, TK9’s PRO lead driver beat Kamui Kobayashi’s real-world lap record by more than seven seconds – a clear proof of the performance of the all-electric eX ZERO. On the Hunaudières straight, the cars reached a top speed of 361 km/h (without slipstream). The average of Sørensen’s pole lap was 262 km/h.
