With the sixth round of the championship, set at the Rome ePrix circuit, worth double-points, Jajovski would have been forgiven for feeling a little comfortable. The North Macedonian driver had been in the points lead of the championship at every stage of the season so far, with three wins from five events, and held a 26-point lead over his nearest rival: Rasmussen.
Red Bull driver Rasmussen, perhaps better known for his F1 Esports performances, has been in solid form recently and laid down the early marker with his third successive pole position. The margin was more than 0.2s, with Red Bull team-mate Graham Carroll in second - though the two drive for Dragon Penske and Envision Virgin respectively in the series. Jajovski could only manage third, while the only other driver who could take the title, Kevin Siggy Rebernak, in sixth.
Despite some early close-quarters battling, the front three came out in the same order as they started, but despite pulling out an advantage, Rasmussen couldn’t outrun the points system. Jajovski’s third place would be enough to give him the title, with the drivers tied, by virtue of his three race wins - with Siggy setting the fastest lap and holding the bonus point as he brawled through the field up to fourth.
