“We’re delighted to join JACK’S Racing Day and showcase the exciting, sustainable and inclusive future that electrified motorsport offers,” said Arvid Rinaldo, Head of Partnership and Operational Involvement in World RX for Volvo CE.
“We are working together with the redesign.life foundation which is the social partner of this event, supporting sustainable mobility and zero emission motorsport - which the FIA World RX is a perfect example of. We will showcase the sport in the Netherlands via this event as a precursor to a possible future Dutch race.”
The team will perform spectacular demonstration runs during the two days of JACK’S Racing Day, sharing track with Grand Prix winner David Coulthard who will drive his RB7 Formula 1 car.

CE Dealer Team wrote history in 2022 with the first-ever gender equal full-season driver line-up in the FIA World Rallycross Championship.
The team has since then secured one World RX silver medal and two bronze medals, setting its sights for the gold in 2024.
The team's goal is to drive the change in society on diversity and sustainability through showing what you can achieve with a dedicated team of professionals.
