2021

Veloce joined Extreme E for its inaugural season in 2021, announcing 2019 W Series champion Jamie Chadwick and former F1 and WRC driver Stéphane Sarrazin as their line-up. The team, racing with technical support from ART Grand Prix,[4] won their first podium in the series at the 2021 Ocean X-Prix.[5] Veloce finished the season 7th in the teams championship with a total of 77 points.

2022

On January 6, 2022, Veloce announced that Jamie Chadwick would be replaced for the 2022 season by Christine GZ.[6] At the first round of the season in Saudi Arabia, Christine GZ fractured her foot while competing in Q1, requiring Hedda Hosås to replace her for the remainder of the round.[7]

W Series

At the second round of the season at the Red Bull Ring, Chadwick scored the team's first pole position, podium and win in W Series, beating Beitske Visser by a tenth of a second in qualifying,[8] and driving to a commanding victory during the race.[9] Ahead of round 3 at Silverstone Circuit, Veloce announced Mariella Bailey as the team's W Series team principal. During the final round of the season, with her win in the second race of the weekend at Circuit of the Americas, Jamie Chadwick won her second W Series championship, and the first for Veloce.[10]
