Vantage to Sponsor McLaren's New Electric Offroad Racing Team
LONDON and SINGAPORE, Feb. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Vantage(https://www.vantagemarkets.com/), the international multi-asset broker, 
announces its multi-year partnership with McLaren Racing as an Official Partner 
of the McLaren Extreme E (MX) team. This announcement comes ahead of the launch 
of the 2022 season, with the first race, the Desert X Prix in Saudi Arabia, 
scheduled for February 19th and 20th.

Extreme E is a new concept in motorsport, that challenges teams to race 
off-road across remote areas of the globe, in cutting-edge electric SUV's, to 
raise climate awareness.

The partnership between Vantage and McLaren Racing is a union of like-minded, 
globally recognised brands who believe in the same values: sustainability and 
diversity as well as gender equality, inclusion and representation while 
championing for and advocating climate change awareness.

Vantage has partnered with McLaren's Extreme E (MX) team because of the concept 
behind Extreme E. A key focus for Vantage is to provide access to trading in 
far flung regions of the globe, which aligns perfectly with Extreme E's 
intention to raise awareness of the challenges of climate change through the 
locations in which it races.

Vantage joins McLaren's MX team for its debut season in the race series, which 
is only in its second year, with its branding carried on the chassis side and 
roof of the McLaren MX race car. Drivers Tanner Foust and Emma Gilmour will 
also sport the Vantage colours on their racing overalls throughout this year's 
5-race season.

David Shayer, CEO, Vantage UK, said:

"The partnership with McLaren Racing is a big step for Vantage. The company 
values speed and innovation in the same way we do. Throughout the course of our 
rebranding exercise, we did some soul searching about what kind of company we 
are. As part of our strategy to accelerate our exposure, we decided to explore 
a sponsorship in a sport we felt would raise awareness of our upgraded services.

"Considering we are a broker that provides unparalleled technology to allow for 
fast trading execution, it made sense to look at something in racing, which is 
when we discovered Extreme E and McLaren. It became clear immediately that 
there were some parallels between our brands and sectors, but beyond that, we 
decided we wanted to engage more actively with and contribute to a sport that 
raised awareness about climate change and show our support to address this 
global issue."

Zak Brown, CEO, McLaren Racing, said:

"We're delighted to partner with Vantage ahead of our first season competing in 
Extreme E. It's crucial that we work with partners who reflect our team's 
values, and Vantage shares our commitment to sustainability, innovation and 
performance. 

"Racing in Extreme E marks an exciting new chapter for McLaren Racing, and our 
partnership with Vantage supports us in taking this important step in expanding 
our racing portfolio whilst accelerating our learnings in sustainability."
