Sébastien Loeb will not feel alone in Extreme E. Indeed, another French driver will compete in the inaugural season of the electric SUV championship in 2021. Stéphane Sarrazin joins the Veloce Racing team and will bring his expertise in electric vehicles by being Jamie Chadwick's co-pilot.
“It’s a hugely attractive new series that has already attracted a lot of international attention – and all before the racing even begins, specifies the 45-year-old pilot. As a driver, the concept is extremely exciting and motivating – both on a competitive and personal level – and the challenge will be like no other.

Stéphane Sarrazin is used to electric vehicles. The Gardois has competed in 37 ePrix Formula E with Venturi, Techeetah and Andretti between 2014 and 2018, with three podiums to boot. More recently, he was one of the actors in the development of Hyundai Veloster N ETCR.
“I've driven a lot of different types of cars in my career, but the Odyssey 21 is truly something special and will generate some incredible action. When we went to test the machine, it didn't take long for me to get along with the Veloce Racing guys – like me, they come to Extreme E with a lot of experience in different disciplines of the sport, and that doesn't maybe only to our advantage. »
