The partnership will put the ICE logo on the McLaren Extreme E car, on the chassis side and roof of the car. Additionally, the ICE branding will also be visible on the racing overalls and helmets of the drivers.
The partnership is also built around McLaren and ICE’s common vision of accelerating diversity, equality and inclusion, which is visible in Extreme E’s mandate of having a male and female drivers line-up. McLaren Racing’s CEO Zak Brown also currently appears in various ICE advertising campaigns.

Speaking about their new partnership, Zak Brown, CEO, McLaren Racing, commented:
“Partnering with a leading global name in financial markets like ICE is a fantastic moment for McLaren Racing. Like us, ICE targets authentic brand engagement driven by data and technology, and we look forward to joining them at the New York Stock Exchange to celebrate this new partnership.
“ICE aligns with our commitment to sustainability, including DE&I. This makes Extreme E a perfect platform to carry our partnership and raise awareness of the impact of climate change, while promoting a more level playing field for gender equality.”

Jeff Sprecher, Founder, Chair and CEO, ICE:
“I’ve been a fan of Zak Brown and McLaren Racing for years, and our team could not be more excited about becoming an Official Partner of the McLaren Extreme E Team.
“ICE and McLaren are both driven by the use of data and technology to create competitive advantage.
