Veloce Racing is a British motorsport team founded by Jean-Éric Vergne, Adrian Newey and Rupert Svendsen-Cook. Veloce formerly competed in the all-female single-seater racing series W Series and the all-electric off-road racing championship Extreme E.
Extreme E
2021 Veloce joined Extreme E for its inaugural season in 2021, announcing 2019 W Series champion Jamie Chadwick and former F1 and WRC driver Stéphane Sarrazin as their line-up. The team, racing with technical support from ART Grand Prix, won their first podium in the series at the 2021 Ocean X-Prix. Veloce finished the season 7th in the teams championship with a total of 77 points.
2022 On 6 January 2022 Veloce announced that Jamie Chadwick would be replaced for the 2022 season by Christine GZ. At the first round of the season in Saudi Arabia, Christine GZ fractured her foot while competing in Q1, requiring Hedda Hosås to replace her for the remainder of the round.
Prior to the 2022 Energy X-Prix, Veloce announced that Kevin Hansen and Molly Taylor would immediately "form the team's new driver pairing" for both the final race of 2022, along with the entire 2023 season. Veloce also appointed 2006 Dakar Rally winner and former alpine skier Luc Alphand as Extreme E team principal.
2023 Veloce won their first race at the 2023 Desert X-Prix after RXR received a 136-second penalty for speeding under a yellow flag. The team also recorded victories in both Round 04 (2023 Hydro X-Prix) and Round 10 (2023 Copper X-Prix) making it their most successful Extreme E season to date.
2024 Veloce retained Hansen and Taylor for the second consecutive season, and E.ON was announced as the team's title sponsor with the team being known as E.ON Veloce Racing and later E.ON Next Veloce Racing for the season. On 6 September 2024, a week before the scheduled Island X-Prix, Extreme E announced that the rounds in Sardinia and Phoenix were cancelled with Veloce Racing leading the championship.
W Series
Veloce joined W Series for its second season in 2021, with reigning champion Jamie Chadwick and rookie Bruna Tomaselli as their inaugural driver line-up. At the second round of the season at the Red Bull Ring, Chadwick scored the team's first pole position, podium and win in W Series, beating Beitske Visser by a tenth of a second in qualifying, and driving to a commanding victory during the race. Ahead of round 3 at Silverstone Circuit, Veloce announced Mariella Bailey as the team's W Series team principal. During the final round of the season, with her win in the second race of the weekend at Circuit of the Americas, Jamie Chadwick won her second W Series championship, and the first for Veloce.
Extreme H On 11 February 2025, Veloce became the first team to confirm its intention to enter the FIA Extreme H World Cup, the series successor of Extreme E. However, Veloce did not compete in the inaugural World Cup.
