Jenson Button promoting new 'Extreme E' motorsport to highlight climate change

In the Welsh valleys, a new electric motorsport is being tested, replacing the roar of engines with a focus on environmental awareness. The Extreme E Series, led by notable figures like Jenson Button, will race in locations heavily impacted by climate change, such as Senegal and Greenland. The series aims to highlight environmental challenges while reducing its carbon footprint by using the Saint Helena ship for transport. The initiative also seeks to change perceptions about single-use plastics. Jenson Button reflects on the shift to electric vehicles, acknowledging their importance despite missing the sound of traditional engines. The first race is set to begin in Saudi Arabia in April.
