Led by team manager Juli Mundet Caballero and piloted by drivers Oliver Bennett and Christine Giampaoli Zonca, the UK outfit will make its debut at the season-opening Desert X Prix, which takes place in Saudi Arabia between 2-4 April.
Extreme E, the all-electric, all-terrain championship, will see SUVs race through some of the most demanding environments on earth, including the Arctic Circle and Amazon rainforest. The series aims to highlight the impact of climate change on some of the most remote and notably-affected locations.

Combining entertainment with environmental activism, the championship will raise global awareness of the widespread impacts of global warming and the climate emergency.
“We’re excited to announce our involvement as principal sponsor of the Hispano Suiza Xite Energy Team, a collaboration that reflects myenergi’s pioneering vision, innovative technology and passion for sustainability.”
