Guillaume Collard, Eleven Belgium and Luxembourg managing director and group chief rights acquisition officer, added: “Extreme E is already proving itself to be a hugely exciting competition, with a vital climate change message at the heart of the race.

“We’re delighted to be bringing the competition to our audience in Belgium and Luxembourg as well as using our digital platform to provide motor sport fans in over 140 markets.”

The first two Extreme E events have already taken place in Saudi Arabia and Senegal, with Greenland to follow in late August.

However, the hosts for the final two events have still to be confirmed after the decision was taken to relocate them from Brazil and Argentina because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Earlier this month, Extreme E, agreed a rights deal with Motorsport TV Russia, a subsidiary of Motorsport Network, the international digital media company.
