It will expand McLaren’s racing stable which already includes Formula One, IndyCar, Extreme E, and esports.
“The move into Formula E not only reflects McLaren’s commitment to EV (electric) motorsport but the aim to accelerate McLaren Racing’s sustainability journey and reach a new, more diverse global audience,” said McLaren.
Earlier this year, Maserati also announced it would be joining the championship for the next season.
