Extreme E's third sustainability report showed that the series maintained its status as a carbon neutral series throughout the 2023 season. The report, released on Tuesday, and produced in collaboration with EY, also showed that the championship reduced its overall carbon footprint by 8.
Acciona Sainz came within a lap of winning the Extreme E championship in 2023, and with that painful heartbreak still fresh in the mind – after all, last season’s finale was only two short months ago – the team was keen to get this year off to a strong start to banish those memories.
Acciona Sainz avenged its roll in Saturday’s Desert X Prix final to win the second part of the Extreme E season opener in Saudi Arabia. In what was a dominant performance in Sunday’s main event, Fraser McConnell got the holeshot from the start as he, along with two others, used the Hyperdrive.
