Chip Ganassi Racing (CGR) has confirmed its 2021 entry into Extreme E, the new racing series that will feature 550-horsepower, electric SUVs competing in extreme environments around the world in an effort to preserve regions affected by climate and environmental issues. The five-race global championship highlights the impact of climate change and human interference in some of the world’s most remote locations and promotes the adoption of electric vehicles to help preserve the environment and protect the planet.

Extreme E is operated in association with Formula E, the organizer of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship.

 "Extreme E is a very different proposition to anything we have done before, but it’s where I think motor racing is headed in the future. When I started our team in 1990, one of the founding principles I built it on was innovation. I’ve always been passionate about pushing the boundaries of what is possible, and Extreme E checks that box for us in a big way," team owner Chip Ganassi said. "Extreme E represents an opportunity to change that balance in auto racing by using the latest technology to attract a new, younger audience to this great sport of ours. Everything about it is cool, from the car to the race format and the in-built technology. We’re thrilled to join the championship and are excited to play a part in developing the future of our sport."
