•    Joan Orús, Team Principal of ACCIONA | SAINZ XE Team:
“Everyone deserves an opportunity and with the Racing for All initiative, Extreme E is proving once again that it is the world's most socially responsible motorsport championship.


We are already looking forward to welcoming the mechanics and engineers of the future to the ACCIONA | SAINZ XE Team. We will share our expertise and help further develop their abilities, and we will surely be stronger with them in the team."





•    Dave Berkenfield, Team Manager at No.99 GMC HUMMER EV Chip Ganassi Racing:
“The Racing for All Initiative by Extreme E is directly in-line with our longstanding commitment to supporting diversity, inclusion and equality at every level inside Chip Ganassi Racing.


We’ve been fortunate to work with partners who are united in finding a long-term solution to expanding the representation and opportunities within motorsports.



As a team, we’re excited about Extreme E’s commitment to take on this challenge at the series level and we look forward to collaborating on ways to ensure its success.”




•    Roger Griffiths, Team Principal of Andretti United Extreme
E: “A crucial part of Andretti - United’s decision to join Extreme E was the uniqueness of the series, not only from the competition perspective but also from how it addresses social matters.



To be able to contribute to improve equality and opportunity within motorsport through Racing for All is an exciting prospect and we recognise how vital this step is in pushing the barriers within this sport. We look forward to passing on our knowledge and experience to a new generation of mechanics, engineers, and across the motorsport industry as a whole.”




•    Ollie Bennett, XITE Team Owner
: “Extreme E has done an incredible job so far in inspiring greater female representation in motorsport. It’s been a real game-changer and this goes hand in hand with XITE and disrupting the status quo. We have seen already that the series has delivered a strong platform for the female drivers with more visibility and this will definitely contribute to having a stronger female presence in motorsport in the future.

Racing for All is the next step and we are excited to welcome the next generation of engineering and mechanical talent. Innovation, inclusivity and remarkability are core to both XITE and Extreme E, which Racing for All is further evidence of this.”




•    Thomas Biermaier, CEO of ABT:
“The world of motorsport should not be an exclusive club – it should be for everyone, no matter what their background, and we look forward to welcoming the latest, innovative minds out there from the next generation of talent through Racing for All. We hope it can create a pathway for the brightest upcoming mechanics and engineers.”






•    Daniel Bailey, CEO of Veloce Racing:
“Veloce is proudly committed to developing and promoting the very best talent in motorsport, and Extreme E’s Racing for All initiative is a further extension of this. We believe the strategy to invest in upcoming talent to be the right one.
