Six-Time Formula One World Champion, Lewis Hamilton today announced the launch of his very own race team, X44, which will make its debut in Extreme E, the ground breaking new electric off-road racing series.

Named with reference to Lewis’s own racing number, X44 will enter Season 1 of the Extreme E Championship, with its first X Prix race scheduled to take place in early 2021.

As one of the most successful racing drivers of all time, Lewis will use his knowledge and champion’s mentality, to develop his own team for the first time. Instead of getting behind the wheel, Lewis will use his role as founder to put his learnings into practise and create a dedicated and competitive team.

X44 and its Extreme E competitors will race electric vehicles in five remote locations; arctic, desert, rainforest, glacier, and coastal; which are already damaged or severely under threat of climate change from a range of serious issues including melting ice caps, deforestation, desertification and rising sea levels.

Extreme E is a radical new racing series which will see E-SUVs compete in the most remote corners of the planet that have been impacted by climate change.
 
This five-event global voyage will utilise its sporting platform for the purpose of promoting electrification, environment and equality. The series’ goal is to highlight the impact of climate change in some of the world’s most endangered environments, promote the adoption of electric vehicles to pave the way for a lower carbon future, and provide a world-first gender-equal motorsport platform.
 
The first sport to ever be built out of a social purpose, Extreme E aims to minimise environmental impact while maximising awareness, racing in places that have already been damaged or affected by climate change or human interference and taking fans deep into the heart of the most pressing issues facing our planet’s future.
 
Not only that, but Extreme E is also helping the car industry to develop future-facing technology using racing as a platform for road innovation, which accelerates change ten-fold.
