“It has never been more important that we, as an industry, take real action to move our sport forward, and X44’s new direction is one of the ways I am committing to making that genuine change. We are looking forward to returning to Saudi Arabia for the opening rounds of the new season. Our team is privileged to be co-pioneering this new competition focussed on e-mobility.

Theophile Gouzin, Technical Director of Spark Racing Technology, said: Spark is thrilled to engineer the all-new electric SUV for Extreme E. If the 2024 campaign is anything like our first three, then our fans are going to be in for something special. Keep your eyes peeled for more news coming from Extreme E in the coming weeks. “We know from the findings of The Hamilton Commission that the motorsport industry is an incredibly difficult place to break into, and I hope that X44 can be a powerful platform to provide opportunities to the next generation. Alejandro Agag, Founder and CEO of Extreme E, said: We are delighted to unveil our calendar for Extreme E Season 4. Extreme E announced today a multi-year relationship with ENOWA, NEOM’s energy, water and hydrogen subsidiary, to introduce green hydrogen power to their global sustainable racing series. After all, both showcase a range of electric vehicles competing for prizes/accolades. Development for the Extreme H vehicle is already underway, with the aim being the launch of a prototype in early 2023. Extreme E racing is slightly different to Formula E, although it does share similarities with the street racing competition. “I’m so proud of the incredible work that my team has undertaken so far in Extreme E, and I can’t wait for us to take it to the next level this year,” said Hamilton. Formula 1 champion Jenson Button’s Extreme E team will contest the second season of the electric SUV series and has signed defending champion Molly Taylor for the opening round. Extreme E is known as the electric odyssey, which should tell you everything you need to know right there. George Imafidon, a member of The Hamilton Commission who has worked within X44 across the inaugural two seasons will fill the role of race engineer, with Calvin Langat listed as the team’s new junior engineer. Extreme E is a new racing series seeing eSUVs compete in the most remote corners of the planet.

The team will be led by team principal Stephanie Carlin while former Mercedes F1 engineer Stephanie Travers, the first black woman to stand on a F1 race podium, has been named as the deputy team principal.
