Bicester Heritage welcomes NEOM McLaren Electric Racing as new home
NEOM McLaren Electric Racing, competing as the NEOM McLaren
Formula E Team in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, and as the NEOM
McLaren Extreme E Team in Extreme E, will join over 45 motorsport and
automotive businesses at Bicester Heritage’s unique motoring marina by moving
its headquarters to the site.
McLaren Racing will open the next phase of its electric
motorsport journey when it enters the 2022/2023 ABB FIA Formula E World
Championship from Season Nine and the beginning of the Gen3 era in the
pioneering all-electric race series. Formula E will join the McLaren Racing
portfolio of Formula 1, IndyCar, Extreme E, and esports.
The company’s Formula E team has been formed through the acquisition of the
Mercedes-EQ Formula E Team that has seen the reigning ABB FIA Formula E World
Championship team transfer into the McLaren Racing family. The move into
Formula E not only reflects McLaren’s commitment to EV motorsport but the aim
to accelerate McLaren Racing’s sustainability journey and reach a new, more
diverse global audience.
Daniel Geoghegan, Chief Executive of Bicester Motion, comments: “McLaren’s expansion into another racing series like Formula E, is as unique as our site. We look forward to supporting them during this next phase of their development.”
Ian James, Managing Director, NEOM McLaren Electric Racing adds: “It’s an
exciting time for the team and the sport. We are embarking on a new chapter, as
part of the McLaren Racing family. Basing ourselves at the unique location of
Bicester Heritage, we have the advantage of being surrounded by people who are
as passionate about motorsport as we are.”
