Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, was given a masterclass in electric racing on Saturday at the Knockhill Racing Circuit in Scotland with Extreme E, the pioneering series using sport to highlight global climate change issues.

The test drive was organised ahead of COP 26, which takes place in Glasgow later this year.

As well as gaining an understanding about the series' electrification, environment and equality background, the Prince took a look at Extreme E's hydrogen fuel cell - created in collaboration with British-based AFC Energy - which charges its electric race fleet using zero-emission energy.

Prince William was hosted by Extreme E CEO and Founder Alejandro Agag, a driving force behind the electric motorsport revolution and Adam Bond, CEO of AFC Energy, along with members of two of Extreme E's British teams - George Imafidon, a Junior Engineer on Lewis Hamilton's X44 team and driver Catie Munnings, who races for the Andretti United team.
