Welcome to a brand new motorsport! This project was unbelievably ambitious - a global electric race series that sees entirely electric SUV’s race in the most extreme environments in order to draw attention to the damages of climate change. I first heard about the Extreme E vision through Lewis Hamilton’s Instagram page, when he posted about launching his own team in the championship - @teamx44 Like me @lewishamilton has some strong views on climate change and acts firmly on those beliefs. I was inspired to read more and more and felt so deeply excited by the series and it’s purpose that despite having zero experience in motorsport I sent @extremeelive an audacious Direct Message. Right here on insta. I told them I felt I was a perfect match, I told them how much I loved their idea, their purpose and how a new badass motorsport needs a strong, female, badass presenter. I boldly told them that presenter needed to be me. Despite my ridiculous confidence I absolutely didn’t expect a reply. Only a matter of months and meetings later and here I am chilling at home watching ITV’s coverage of Extreme E’s Desert X Prix and the show is even more incredible than I could have ever imagined. A powerful and positive message was broadcast globally to over 160 countries. To be picked up by the BBC, ITV, BT Sport and Sky Sports is pretty unheard of, but absolutely deserved. Watching women race alongside men in equal competition - listening to @jennie.gow commentating alongside @andrew_coley_ and smashing it. Hearing scientists explain our responsibilities and enjoying unbelievable racing all at the same time feels just too good to be true. But it’s more than real. I’m so honoured to be a small part of this incredible team. Ocean x Prix next from Senegal... see you there!

DESERT X PRIX What a journey, a true adventure. Extreme E has been nothing short of incredible Saying goodbye to the desert hurts

3rd April , 2021 03 / 04 / 2021 Saturday, 3rd April

Dear Desert Diary, Today You terrified me. I witnessed one of the most experienced drivers here get totalled by the unforgiving desert extremes. Claudia Hürtgen of team ABT CUPRA hit a rock at speed and the Odyssey 21 flew into the air rolling four times before crashing back down into the sand and bringing the entirety of Alula into a fearful silence. I was stood directly beside her teams engineers who struggled to get contact from the car. It appeared she was unresponsive for several mins and in the Command Center eyes closed and prayers were said as many of us feared the worst. About six minutes passed over what felt like forever and just as our hearts sank further the most powerful images hit our screens. Claudia stepped out of the upturned car and walked away unscathed. The desert has humbled me today.
