X44 Vida Carbon Racing

  • Media ID-9035

    X44 Vida Carbon Racing were narrowly denied Championship honours in the inaugural season of Extreme E, when victory at the Jurassic X Prix in December saw them finish level on points with overall winners Rosberg X Racing (RXR) but lost out on count back of victories (three to one).

    Formed by seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton, X44 Vida Carbon Racing delivered in Chile to secure their only win of the 2022 campaign. It was at the Uruguay Naturals Energy X Prix that the team sealed the deal, claiming third place and their fourth podium finish of the year to secure a maiden Extreme E championship title in a nail-biting final round.

    X44 Vida Carbon Racing are also back-to-back winners of the Extreme E Sustainability Award, after topping the standings in the series’ Count Us In Challenge in Seasons 1 and 2.

    Cristina Gutiérrez

    Cristina Gutiérrez is a stand-out talent who is rewriting the rulebook for female drivers. Winning the Extreme E Season 2 Championship with X44 Vida Carbon Racing, she has been one of the quickest drivers in the series.

    In addition to finishing the notoriously difficult Dakar Rally seven times, Gutiérrez made history as the first woman to ever win the FIA World Cup for Cross Country Rallies, the second to win a stage in the Dakar Rally (2021) and the third to stand on a podium in the Dakar Rally (2022).

    Heading into 2023, the Spaniard was the quickest female in her class for the Dakar Rally this year as she continues to excel since she started racing at just four years old.

    Fraser McConnell

    McConnell joins X44 Vida Carbon Racing having been a Championship Driver for the series and most recently raced for JBXE at the Season 2 finale in Uruguay.

    Despite being one of the younger drivers on the grid, this Jamaican sensation brings a wealth of experience to Extreme E. Making the switch to the RallyX Nordic Supercar class in 2020, McConnell secured the runner-up laurels in the overall standings. 2021 saw him build upon that success, securing his first supercar victory defeating four-time FIA World Champion Johan Kristofferson at the RallyX Nordic in Nysum, Denmark.

    2022 marked a strong campaign for McConnell, and becoming Nitro Rallycross’ fourth winner of the season at Glen Helen marks one of the highlights.
