Season 9 of the RCCO World eX Championship will start on March 3. Here are some facts and figures from the previous seasons.
In eight seasons, we’ve seen just three different World Champions. Michael Niemas clinched the first two titles, the first one with the Audi e-tron Vision Gran Truismo, the second one in the inaugural season of the eX ZERO. Julius Martin followed en suite, winning three titles in a row before Devin Braune became the dominant force of the series, also winning three titles in a row. The bet is he will make it four in a row in 2026.
