Global brokerage firm Vantage Markets has announced that it will continue backing the NEOM McLaren Extreme E team for a third consecutive season. The extended collaboration underscores both organizations’ passion for sustainability and pushing boundaries through electric motorsport.
Vantage and NEOM McLaren have forged a dynamic relationship over the past two seasons. Rather than a standard sponsorship deal, their partnership is founded on shared principles of excellence, innovation, and impact. A highlight was the launch of the Vantage Foundation at McLaren’s technology center, made possible through an auction of team gear donated by NEOM McLaren. The Foundation supports green initiatives around the world.
According to Vantage CEO David Shayer, partnering with like-minded outfits like NEOM McLaren allows their commitment to sustainability to have a meaningful influence. “We’re delighted to strengthen our ties as they welcome new talent to the driver roster”
That fresh talent includes Cristina Gutiérrez and Mattias Ekström. Both champions in their own right, Gutiérrez and Ekström, bring experience and speed that will serve the team well on the Extreme E circuit. The series takes electric SUVs to remote areas affected by climate change, like deserts and rainforests, to showcase environmental problems.
For sponsors, it offers a platform to back green causes through pulsating competition. “Extreme E perfectly aligns with our ethos of innovation for good. We’re proud to support their mission through another season,” Shayer commented.
With established veterans and now talented newcomers, NEOM McLaren appears set to challenge for honours on the course. But their collaboration with Vantage goes much further. It demonstrates how Motorsport and businesses can work as partners for positive change. As the third chapter unfolds, their alliance will keep the spotlight on sustainability even as races heat up around the globe.
