McConnell is expected to be a major part of the Dreyer and Reinbold Racing championship hunt. It’s currently unknown if both of McConnell’s teammates from the 2022-23 season will be back this season or not. As McConnell is just the first of the bunch of drivers to be announced for the 2023-24 season. It is expected Robin Larsson and Andreas Bakkerud will be back this season. As Larsson has a title to defend and Bakkerud will likely want to chase said title once again. Both Bakkerud and Larsson are confirmed to be appearing at the World RX Of Sweden next month. Bakkerud has also joined JBXE for the 2023 Extreme E season. On a related note, McConnell will also be racing in Extreme E this season, with Team X44.
