The Woking outfit w𓂃ill compete in electric, off-roading racing series ꦑfor 2022 alongside its Formula 1 and IndyCar programmes.

Extreme E’s goal is to raise environmental issues for some aspects o✱f climate change.

F1 chamꦑpions Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg have their own teams in the series - Team X44 and Rosberg X Racing respectively.

The series has also focused on promoting women drivers with each team being forced to rꦅun one male and one female driver.

Speaking to select media, including ltxcn.top, Grain explained how McLaren is looking to be ne💮t carbon zero by 2030.

“For a company, it [sustainability] is incredibly important. ꧒10 years ago we were the first team to be awarded the FIA’s carbon-neutral award and we have set ourselves a challenge of being net-z🐷ero by being 2030 so Extreme E plays an incredibly strong part in that objective,” he said.

Leena Gade is the team’s engineer and McLaren Racing’s first-ever female engin𓂃eer.

Explaining wh🥀at McLaren hopes to get out of Extreme E, she said: “I can’t really speak about the F1 side of things but in terms of the series itself, it’s pretty much driven around sustainability and that’s one o꧂f McLaren’s core marks.

“With the type of racing, with the technology that goes into the car itself, with the batt🌳ery technology, all of that is very applicable to where McLaren stands at the moment with its sustainability goals.”

McLaren will field Rallycross champion Tanne🐬r Foust alওongside Emma Gilmore.

Foust believe🍃s that moving towards a more sustainable ꧑stance is the only way motorsport can survive long-term.

“The fact that I race EV and I think that electric cars are our future, it doesn't mean I don't love the sound of a screaming engine,” he added.“ Motorsport served an amazing function for cars, proving back in the day that engines could be reliable, that cars can be safe, it pushed every envelope that made cars driving on the road what we know today ℱand I think with EV, it has to be the case also.

“There are a lot of objections people have to buy an EV Car for example and technologies can be developed and those objectives can also be answered through motorsport and if motorsport is going to continue, which is an industry that I love and love being involved𒁃, it's going to need a responsible side to it, a more responsible side to it.

“Series like Extreme Eﷺ and companies like McLaren, the way they are approaching this with gender neutrality and carbon neutrality is really the only way that all the things that  I love about motorsport co💖ntinue and that's why I am involved.”

The 2022 Extreme E seไason gets underway in Neom, Saudi Arabia on February 19-20.
