What they say
"I’m really looking forward to seeing Tanner and the team again in Scotland and getting back in the car. Hopefully we can build on what we learned in Saudi Arabia at the start of the season and make it into the Grand Final. We learnt a lot there and we hope to be as competitive as we can straight out of the box. The race site looks amazing, it’s pretty special to be racing up in Scotland. I’m excited to get racing, and hopefully we have a successful weekend."
"I’m very excited to race in Scotland this weekend. I spent ages nine to 13 living in Scotland as a navy brat on a retired Royal Air Force base. I have great memories from Scotland as a kid and hopefully this weekend we can make some more!
"The Hydro X Prix is an important one for us at NEOM McLaren, coming off a fairly difficult weekend in Saudi Arabia. We suffered technical difficulties that cost us speed on the straights, and a few other mishaps not allowing us to compete for the top five positions. We have regrouped and hope to have a better weekend in Scotland, where hopefully we can score some more points."
"I can’t wait to get going in Scotland for the second race weekend of the season. After a lot of learnings in NEOM, where we missed out on the Grand Final, we are fully focused on realising our potential and scoring good points at the Hydro X Prix this weekend.
"The venue looks amazing and as with all new locations there will be a lot of learning to do as soon as we arrive. Both Emma and Tanner are raring to go and the NEOM McLaren Extreme E Team are looking forward to the short trip north to our home race."
