The adventure begins: Veloce Racing ready for action as Extreme E sparks into life in Saudi Arabia
- London-based squad ready to go wheel-to-wheel with some of the biggest names in global motorsport
- Inaugural Extreme E season set to kick off with Desert X Prix this weekend
- ‘None of us quite know how things are going to play out’, says Jamie Chadwick
- Stéphane Sarrazin predicts ‘really special’ week both on and off-course
Veloce Racing will embark upon its greatest adventure to-date this weekend (3/4 April), as the time has finally come to get the inaugural Extreme E season underway in the spectacular setting of AlUla, Saudi Arabia.
Having begun life as a sports management agency before transitioning into a hugely successful esports franchise, Veloce is the first organisation in history to bridge the gap between virtual and real-world motorsport in that order, with Veloce Racing launching in September, 2019.
It has been a long road from that moment to the point where the team now finds itself – ready to contest the maiden Extreme E race, the eagerly-anticipated Desert X Prix in Saudi Arabia. The conditions will be harsh and unforgiving, while the sporting format will be unlike anything our drivers, or indeed the rest of the paddock have experienced before.
As a sport for purpose, Extreme E exists to shine a spotlight on the effects of climate change and human interference in some of the most remote environments on the planet, with the objective of encouraging the watching world to take a stand and adopt steps to drive genuine change.
With that in mind, ahead of every race weekend, a Legacy Programme will aim to give something back to the local community, in which Veloce Racing drivers Jamie Chadwick and Stéphane Sarrazin will both play a leading role – before climbing into the cockpit of the team’s 400kW (550bhp) ODYSSEY-21 E-SUV for the competitive action. The pair will take it in turns in each race to tame this beast, which is capable of reaching 100km/h from a standing start in just 4.5 seconds and tackling gradients of up to 130 per cent.
Inaugural W Series Champion Chadwick is eager to hit the ground running on her competitive off-road debut. The 22-year-old Williams F1 Development Driver has partaken in an intensive pre-season training programme to get up-to-speed with an entirely new motorsport discipline and a challenge unlike any other she has previously faced.
Experienced French racer Sarrazin, meanwhile, brings with him the benefit of 28 years of experience across myriad racing disciplines – including Le Mans, Formula 1, Formula E and the FIA World Rally Championship – and track surfaces, making the 45-year-old perfectly-placed to venture into unknown territory in the desert.
The action will begin with the qualifying rounds from 09h30 local time (BST +2) on Saturday, 3 April, with the semi-finals and final taking place from 09h30 local time the following day.
With no spectators permitted on-site – in-keeping with Extreme E’s environmental ethos and commitment to minimise its carbon footprint – the racing will be broadcast all around the world on a variety of networks, including ITV, the BBC iPlayer and Red Button application, Sky Sports and BT Sport in the UK, plus the championship’s official website.
Following the Saudi Arabian curtain-raiser, the 2021 Extreme E season will travel to Dakar, Senegal (29-30 May), Kangerlussuaq, Greenland (28-29 August), Pará, Brazil (23-24 October) and finally Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina (11-12 December).
Jamie Chadwick, Driver, Veloce Racing, commented:
“I’m just so excited to start racing in AlUla. This is massively different to anything I’ve done before, but I’ve trained harder than ever and spent a lot of time trying to understand the unique challenges this series will throw at us.
“It gives me a lot of confidence that I’ll be alongside someone as experienced as Stéphane going into an innovative championship like Extreme E with such unprecedented rules and sporting formats.
“I’m hopeful of a strong result straight out-of-the-blocks, but I certainly don’t underestimate the level of competition in the field. I think ultimately, it’s going to come down to who can adapt the quickest and learn how the series works from the word ‘go’ – none of us quite know how things are going to play out!”
Stéphane Sarrazin, Driver, Veloce Racing, said:
“What a journey it has been to get to this stage! I think the team are all in really good shape ahead of the first event. We have all done our best to prepare and given the current circumstances around the world, it’s been an amazing effort to get everything organised for this race.
“Jamie and I are both ready for the challenge and excited to go racing! There are so many big motorsport names involved that it’s going to be an extraordinary spectacle – particularly against such a breathtaking backdrop.
“It’s also going to be a really great experience to involve ourselves in the Extreme E Legacy Programmes and leave a lasting positive impact at each of the race locations. That is something that will be really special.”
Ian Davies, Team Manager, Veloce Racing, added:
“Finally, it’s race week! We’ve waited a long time to say that in Extreme E, but now it’s here and the whole Veloce Racing team are so eager to get started, including myself!
“Jamie and Stéphane make a great partnership. Between them, they have a huge amount of experience and raw talent, so I’m very confident that we will be in the mix in such a high-calibre and star-studded field.
“AlUla is going to pose its own challenges, logistically and of course when it gets down to the racing. It’s certainly going to be very different to what anyone in Extreme E has done previously, and being such a leap into the unknown, I think everybody has an opportunity to bag a result here so it will be fascinating to watch.”

Maximizing ROI in Casino and Crypto Campaigns: How AI-Driven Advertising with ROIads Outperforms Traditional Methods
Let’s be honest — running a casino or crypto campaign can feel a little like playing roulette. You spin the wheel, pray to the marketing gods, and hope you don’t land on “traditional advertising.” Because let’s face it, using old-school marketing methods today is like betting on the number 0 and hoping it’ll hit every time. Spoiler alert: It won’t.
But here’s the thing — AI-driven advertising isn’t a buzzword anymore; it’s the saviour of your marketing budget. And if you haven’t heard about ROIads, well, buckle up, because we’re about to deep-dive into how it’s not just better than traditional methods — it’s on another planet entirely.
Traditional Advertising: The Marketing Equivalent of Using a Flip Phone
Picture this: You’re standing on the street, shouting your casino or crypto promotion through a megaphone, hoping the right person hears you. That’s basically traditional advertising. You’re putting your message out there, but do you know who’s actually listening? Probably some random guy waiting for the bus, not your target audience of high-rollers or crypto enthusiasts.
Sure, you could run TV ads, print media campaigns, or (gasp) billboards. But let’s be real — when was the last time you stared at a billboard and thought, “Wow, I can’t wait to sign up for this crypto service!” Yeah, I thought so. The effectiveness of traditional advertising is about as reliable as a slot machine — sometimes you win, but most of the time you’re just out of cash.
Enter ROIads: AI-Driven Advertising That Actually Knows What It’s Doing
Now, imagine using AI to run your campaigns. You know, that mystical technology that can beat chess champions and predict the weather better than your phone’s app. ROIads takes AI and puts it to work for your casino and crypto campaigns. Instead of shouting into the void, AI ensures that your ads are only seen by the people who actually care—people who are already halfway to converting before they’ve even clicked on your ad.
Let’s talk about precision targeting. With traditional methods, you’re basically throwing your message into the wind, hoping it lands somewhere useful. ROIads, on the other hand, uses advanced AI algorithms to slice through all the noise and hit exactly the right audience. Want to target that one guy who only bets on Wednesdays and prefers Litecoin over Bitcoin? Done. ROIads finds him.
The ROI Difference: Your Wallet Will Thank You
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “This sounds great, but how does it actually perform?” Well, let’s talk about ROI—that elusive creature traditional marketing tries to capture but often misses entirely.
With traditional methods, you spend a fortune and cross your fingers, hoping to see some return. With ROIads, the entire point is maximising every dollar. The AI tracks user behaviour in real time, optimising your campaign like a blackjack dealer shuffling the perfect hand. No more throwing cash at a campaign and hoping for the best. ROIads ensures that your ad spend is working for you, adjusting campaigns on the fly to get the most out of every cent.
Real-Time Optimization: Because Static Ads Are So 2010
One of the biggest issues with traditional methods is that once the ad is out there, you’re stuck with it. If it bombs, well, tough luck. But with ROIads, your campaign doesn’t sit still—it’s constantly evolving. The AI analyses how users interact with your ads and adjusts in real time. If one angle isn’t resonating, boom—AI shifts the messaging. It’s like having a marketing team that never sleeps and never stops optimising. Sorry, traditional marketers, but your 9-to-5 just doesn’t cut it anymore.
ROIads vs. Traditional Methods: Not Even Close
Let’s break it down with some cold, hard facts. You run a traditional ad campaign, and you might (if you’re lucky) get some impressions, maybe a few clicks. But good luck calculating that return on investment without resorting to guesswork and vague KPIs. Meanwhile, ROIads doesn’t just track clicks—it tracks engagement, conversion, and real returns in real time. You’ll know exactly how your campaign is performing, who’s engaging, and, most importantly, how much money it’s making you.
And if you’re still hanging onto the idea that traditional methods are “tried and true,” let me remind you that the world has moved on. It’s 2024, people. We have AI that can beat humans at Go—don’t you think it can run a better marketing campaign than a random billboard?
AI-Driven Campaigns Are Here to Stay (And Traditional Advertising Isn’t)
Let’s be honest: traditional advertising is going the way of Blockbuster, MySpace, and those “As Seen on TV” infomercials. Meanwhile, AI-driven campaigns like ROIads are thriving because they’re smarter, more efficient, and actually designed for the digital age. If you’re still pouring money into outdated advertising methods, it’s time to wake up and smell the artificial intelligence.
With ROIads, you’re not just keeping up with the times—you’re staying ahead of the curve. And let’s face it, in an industry as fast-paced as crypto and gaming, you need every advantage you can get.
So, are you ready to stop gambling with your marketing budget and start maximising your ROI? Or are you going to keep hoping your ad hits the jackpot with traditional methods? The choice is yours—just don’t say we didn’t warn you.

By continuing to invest in content and casino EveryMatrix further strengthens its customer offering by adding a portfolio of globally popular premium games enjoyed by next generation players, boost its direct contracts and integrations, and further strengthen one of the most profitable areas of its business.
