Excitement building for Extreme E 2023 season in Neom, Saudi Arabia
Preparations are in full swing to hold Extreme E 2023’s Season 3 in Saudi Arabia’s giga city Neom in March.
Season 3 will feature new faces including superstar DJ Carl
Cox in some of the toughest and most environmentally challenged terrains on the
planet.
Extreme E Season 3 whilst delivering on its overall purpose to address climate
change through sport starts with the Desert X Prix on 11-12 March.
Commenting on the upcoming race, Prince Khalid Bin Sultan Al-Abdullah Al-Faisal,
Chairman of the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation and the Saudi
Motorsport Company showed his excitement over welcoming back Extreme E to the
Kingdom for the third consecutive year of action-packed racing. He said the
event perfectly aligns with one of the most important pillars of Saudi Arabia’s
Vision 2030 to make the Kingdom a leader in the development and promotion of
alternative energy sources as well as preservation of the environment for
future generations.
Alejandro Agag, CEO and Founder of Extreme E said we are proud to welcome legendary DJ Carl Cox to the party and are excited to see his team, Carl Cox Racing. He said we have such a strong field in Extreme E for 2023, from our championship-winning outfits led by Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton, respectively, to strong challenger line-ups in the likes of NEOM McLaren Extreme E, Veloce Racing, and ABT CUPRA XE preparing to push competition boundaries.
Neom is the focus of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 to grow and diversify the Saudi economy. It will be a new model for livability in the face of climate change, creating thriving businesses and reinventing environmental conservation.
The sport infrastructure in NEOM will include the broadest spectrum of sports, from grassroots to high performance. NEOM’s involvement in Extreme E grew even further last season, becoming the title sponsor at NEOM McLaren Extreme E.
Alongside returning to Saudi Arabia, Sardinia, and Chile, Extreme E will also make its debut in Scotland, and possibly the USA or Brazil.
