Andretti Autosport and United Autosports combine to take on Extreme E challenge

ANDRETTI AUTOSPORT
AND UNITED AUTOSPORTS

Led by Michael Andretti, Andretti Autosport holds two decades of accolades across various, global disciplines of motorsport, including five Indianapolis 500 victories and four INDYCAR SERIES championships. The team is committed to the development of the sport and has also been an active competitor in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship since the first season, with multiple racing victories and now competing as Avalanche Andretti Formula E.

United Autosports is one of the largest motorsport teams in the UK and competes globally in different sports prototype categories worldwide. Based in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, UK, the company is co-owned by McLaren CEO Zak Brown and former racing driver, Richard Dean. The team has won many high profile races and championships, including the FIA World Endurance Championship, the European Le Mans Series and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. They have also worked with many world class racing drivers, including Fernando Alonso, Juan Pablo Montoya and Paul Di Resta.

WHAT IS EXTREME E

Now in its second season, Extreme E is a radical new racing series, which sees electric SUVs competing in extreme environments around the world. The five-race global voyage highlights the impact of climate change on some of the world’s most fragile ecosystems and promotes the adoption of electric vehicles to help preserve the environment and protect the planet.

Extreme E is operated in association with Formula E - the organiser of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship. Extreme E is committed to sustainability and minimising environmental impact - as well as playing its part in re-building and restoring areas already impacted by climate change.

Extreme E is the only motor racing series in the world today that mandates that every team taking part must field both a male and female driver. This was a world first in motorsport, and as well as providing opportunities at the highest level of sporting competition, the series is strengthening this commitment to development at the grassroots level in its second season.
