Amanda Sorensen will return to Extreme E at this weekend’s Hydro X Prix, racing for JBXE alongside Andreas Bakkerud in rounds three and four of the season.
The American’s return for the races in Scotland comes after Dani Akeel’s exit from the team following a difficult debut for her on home soil in February’s Desert X Prix in Saudi Arabia.
“It’s great to be back in the championship competing for JBXE at the team’s home race in the UK,” said Sorensen. “I am excited to be back racing in Extreme E, and to join the JBXE team. I had a really strong event the last time we raced in Scotland and it would be fantastic to repeat and get on the podium again.
“The main thing, though, is to put in a strong performance alongside Andreas and get the team moving up the standings.”
Nitrocross Side-by-Side and Formula Drift regular Sorensen raced in the series for Chip Ganassi Racing last season, securing back-to-back podium finishes with RJ Anderson in the second Scotland race, as well as at the first of four Island X Prix races in Sardinia. The pair eventually fifth in the standings before the team exited the series in the off-season.
