MCLAREN FOR EXTREME E

LEADING F1 team McLaren Racing will enter a team in the electric Extreme E off-road championship from next year. Racing boss Zak Brown said: “McLaren has always been at the forefront and never afraid to push new boundaries”. Extreme E currently features nine teams, who must use identical 536bhp electric spaceframe SUVs. Each team must run a single car for a male and female driver who swap at the midway point of each race. Brown said the new project “will complement and help support all our programmes”. | IOL Motoring
