9th February 2024, London: Carl Cox Motorsport will be absent from the Extreme E grid for the 2024 season, with their preparations underway for the launch of Extreme H – the world’s first hydrogen off-road racing series – in 2025.
The team, owned by legendary DJ Carl Cox, scored a podium at last season’s Hydro X Prix in their debut year, with drivers Timo Scheider, Lia Block and Christine GZ behind the wheel during the 2023 campaign.
Block will represent Williams Racing for the 2024 F1 Academy season, racing with ART Grand Prix, and everyone at the championship wishes her well in her future motorsport endeavours.
As announced earlier this week, Scheider will take on a new challenge as driver and Team Principal of the newly-formed SUN Minimeal Team, ensuring the German continues to be a part of the championship he has been involved with since its inception.
Carl Cox Motorsport will return in 2025 for the championship’s new era, which transitions to Extreme H and hydrogen power – a world-first in motorsport.
Carl Cox, Team Owner, Carl Cox Motorsport: “I like to think that I have a pioneering spirit. From music to motors, I’ve always pushed myself to open doors and then go through them. Being invited to bring Carl Cox Motorsport into the highly-anticipated Extreme H series that launches in 2025 feels like a leap into the future. We’ll be working closely with the Extreme E family over the next 12 months as we prepare to launch our championship campaign in the ground-breaking new car. We are most definitely in it to win it.”
Alon Shulman, Team Principal, Carl Cox Motorsport: “You have to immerse yourself in something to fully understand it and that is what we did across an amazing year with the Extreme E family. We’re delighted that our Extreme E drivers have excelled, with Timo launching his own team and Lia moving into the world of F1 Academy. With the first officially sanctioned FIA hydrogen race series kicking off in 2025, our preparations for Carl Cox Motorsport Extreme H are firmly underway”.
Alejandro Agag, Founder and CEO of Extreme E: “It has been great to welcome Carl and his team into Extreme E – his enthusiasm for motorsport is infectious and he has really enjoyed being a part of the championship as much as we have enjoyed him being with us. Carl will be following Extreme E closely this season as Carl Cox Motorsport concentrates on 2025, working closely with us for the momentous launch of Extreme H and the exciting new future for our series.”
