Extreme E has extended its tire supply deal with Continental for the upcoming season, showcasing their commitment to environmental sustainability and innovation. Continental has been a series partner since 2019 and has used their position to develop consumer products. For the 2023 season, Continental introduced a new CrossContact tire made from recycled materials, including silica from rice husks and polyester yarn from recycled plastic bottles. They also recycled the tires into rubber paving stones, with a portion used to build a basketball court in Hannover, Germany, as part of their push for environmental and social responsibility. Continental’s support plays a crucial role in the success of Extreme E and their mission to drive change through motorsport.
