Sunreef Yachts renewed its partnership with defending champions Rosberg X Racing (RXR) for the 2024 Extreme E season, with Nico Rosberg’s drivers starting the year by winning the first leg in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in February.
The luxury catamaran builder also supported RXR’s chosen legacy programme, Coral Protection, at the ‘Desert XPrix’. The initiative highlights the critical role of coral reefs in maintaining biodiversity, protecting coastlines and sustaining communities.
“Building upon the success of last year’s championship win, Sunreef Yachts will continue to support RXR’s mission to push the boundaries of electric motorsport and sustainability,” Sunreef stated. “Also, Sunreef Yachts is deeply invested in ocean-conservation efforts and commends Extreme E’s commitment to raising awareness about this vital issue.”
Rosberg X Racing won the Extreme E championship in 2021 and 2023
Rosberg X Racing is again led by Johan Kristoffersson, 35, and Mikaela Åhlin-Kottulinsky, 31, the pair who led the team to victory in last year’s championship. Rosberg X Racing also won the inaugural Extreme E season in 2021, when Kristoffersson was partnered by Molly Taylor, who is now racing for E.On Veloce.
Rosberg, 38, won the F1 championship in 2016 before embarking on a career in sustainable technologies and was later appointed a Sunreef ambassador along with the likes of Rafa Nadal, Fernando Alonso and Mike Horn before creating the Rosberg X Racing team.
