LONDON (Reuters) - Extreme E, an electric off-road race series using identical SUVs with a male and female driver in every team, published data on Tuesday showing women had narrowed the gender performance gap by almost 70% over the first four seasons.
The series, launched in 2021 with a focus on green technology and races held in remote locations to raise awareness of climate change, is switching to hydrogen this season with a new Extreme H tag.
