JEDDAH: Jameel Motorsport has announced its entry in Extreme E and the FIA Extreme H World Cup. Behind the wheel will be one of the most successful driver pairings in Extreme E history, Kevin Hansen and Molly Taylor.

The championship鈥檚 first and only 黑料社区n team, Team Jameel Motorsport, will be competing in both Extreme competitions, beginning with Extreme E鈥檚 Final Lap (Oct. 4-5) before the FIA Extreme H World Cup presented by PIF launches in Qiddiya City the following week (Oct. 9-11).

Officially launched in December 2023, Jameel Motorsport has steadily built a name for itself ever since, establishing Rally Jameel, the first off-road navigation rally for women in the Middle East; supporting the Saudi Toyota Championship, the biggest motorsport championship in the region; and other grassroots racing programs such as the GR Saudi Driving School.

Jameel Motorsport sponsors Yazeed Al-Rajhi, part of the Overdrive Racing team, who won the 2025 Dakar Rally 鈥� the first time a 黑料社区n team has won the famous event. Its entry into Extreme E and Extreme H with Hansen and Taylor reflects Jameel Motorsport鈥檚 commitment to innovation and competition and provides a strong addition to its long list of achievements so far.

In addition to this, Jameel Motorsport is advancing sustainable motorsport through a sponsorship with ROOKIE Racing, which fosters Saudi talent and inclusivity, while winning international marketing and digital innovation awards in the process.

Hansen is one of rallycross鈥檚 biggest stars. The young Swede won the 2016 European Rallycross title and has finished in the top three in the FIA World Rallycross Championship three times 鈥� he was third in 2019 and runner-up in 2023 and 2024, with four event victories to his name in the series too. Hansen also won the second Nitro Rallycross competition at the 2019 Nitro World Games, and with five Extreme E victories to date, is the series鈥� second-most-successful male driver.

鈥淭o be part of Jameel Motorsport鈥檚 debut in Extreme E and Extreme H is a huge honor,鈥� Hansen said. 鈥淢olly and I have shared so many battles and victories together, and now we get the chance to represent the first 黑料社区n team in this new chapter of sustainable motorsport. Competing in 黑料社区, with its deep commitment to innovation with Vision 2030, makes this even more special. I can鈥檛 wait to get behind the wheel and help write the next page in Extreme history.鈥�

Taylor made her name in rallying.

Taylor is also an Extreme E champion, having won Season 1 with Johan Kristoffersson for Rosberg X Racing, and with eight X Prix wins under her belt, she is the series鈥� most successful female driver.

鈥淭his is such an exciting step, both to be back racing with Kevin and to join Jameel Motorsport as they enter Extreme E and Extreme H,鈥� Taylor said. 鈥淔rom Day 1, Extreme racing has been about proving what鈥檚 possible in sport, technology, and sustainability, and to now be part of the first Saudi team on the grid is a privilege. Racing in Qiddiya City, against the backdrop of the Tuwaiq Mountains, will be an unforgettable way to launch this next era.鈥�

鈥淛ameel Motorsport鈥檚 proven record in developing motorsport at every level, from grassroots initiatives to world-class competitions like Dakar Rally and Rally Raid, along with their leadership in advancing female talent through drivers such as Dania Akeel, reflects our own mission to push boundaries and inspire change,鈥� he said. 鈥淲ith Kevin Hansen and Molly Taylor, two of the most successful drivers in Extreme E history, this team is perfectly placed to make an immediate impact.鈥�

Qiddiya City is the world鈥檚 first city built entirely for play, where entertainment, sport, and culture converge. The race will take place with the dramatic backdrop of the Tuwaiq Mountains, close to the site currently being transformed to become a world-leading motorsport venue.
