Legendary French rally driver, six-time World Champion Sébastien Ogier, will become an Official Ambassador of the cutting-edge off-road electric SUV racing series.
The incumbent World Rally Championship title-holder has thrown his weight behind Extreme E, and his expertise will be utilised across the board by Extreme E organisers in the lead-up to its inaugural season – set to get underway in early 2021.
Ogier will advise and support on everything from the Sporting and Technical Regulations to potential event locations and the design evolution of the Extreme E E-SUV during its extensive testing and development programme.
His unparalleled off-road racing knowledge and ability will also be directly employed behind the wheel of the ODYSSEY 21 car as it is fine-tuned ahead of delivery to teams starting March next year.
