2021

[edit | edit source]

Veloce joined Extreme E for its inaugural season in 2021, announcing 2019 W Series champion Jamie Chadwick and former F1 and WRC driver Stéphane Sarrazin as their line-up. The team, racing with technical support from ART Grand Prix,[2] won their first podium in the series at the 2021 Ocean X-Prix.[3] Veloce finished the season 7th in the teams championship with a total of 77 points.

2022

[edit | edit source]

On 6 January 2022 Veloce announced that Jamie Chadwick would be replaced for the 2022 season by Christine GZ.[4] At the first round of the season in Saudi Arabia, Christine GZ fractured her foot while competing in Q1, requiring Hedda Hosås to replace her for the remainder of the round.[5]

Prior to the 2022 Energy X-Prix, Veloce announced that Kevin Hansen and Molly Taylor would immediately "form the team's new driver pairing" for both the final race of 2022, along with the entire 2023 season.[6] Veloce also appointed 2006 Dakar Rally winner and former alpine skier Luc Alphand as Extreme E team principal.[7]

2023

[edit | edit source]

Veloce won their first race at the 2023 Desert X-Prix after RXR received a 136-second penalty for speeding under a yellow flag.[8] The team also recorded victories in both Round 04 (2023 Hydro X-Prix) and Round 10 (2023 Copper X-Prix) making it their most successful Extreme E season to date.

2024

[edit | edit source]

Veloce retained Hansen and Taylor for the second consecutive season,[9] and E.ON was announced as the team's title sponsor with the team being known as E.ON Veloce Racing and later E.ON Next Veloce Racing for the season.[10] On 6 September 2024, a week before the scheduled Island X-Prix, Extreme E announced that the rounds in Sardinia and Phoenix were cancelled with Veloce Racing leading the championship.[11][12]

Veloce joined W Series for its second season in 2021, with reigning champion Jamie Chadwick and rookie Bruna Tomaselli as their inaugural driver line-up. At the second round of the season at the Red Bull Ring, Chadwick scored the team's first pole position, podium and win in W Series, beating Beitske Visser by a tenth of a second in qualifying,[13] and driving to a commanding victory during the race.[14] Ahead of round 3 at Silverstone Circuit, Veloce announced Mariella Bailey as the team's W Series team principal. During the final round of the season, with her win in the second race of the weekend at Circuit of the Americas, Jamie Chadwick won her second W Series championship, and the first for Veloce.[15]

On 11 February 2025, Veloce became the first team to confirm its intention to enter the FIA Extreme H World Cup, the series successor of Extreme E.[16] However, Veloce did not compete in the inaugural World Cup held on 9 to 11 October.
