Ice, sand, jungle, ocean, snow... driving in such adverse conditions is no easy feat, especially when you’re up against the stopwatch. That’s why driver Mattias Ekström, who will compete in Extreme E racing with the Abt CUPRA XE team, has to prepare himself physically and mentally. The Swedish driver is currently finalising his training for the championship, where the drivers will race electric SUVs in desert, arctic, ocean, jungle and glacier areas. But he’s not training alone - CUPRA ambassador and professional fighter Madeleine Vall, who appeared in Wonder Woman as Amazon Warrior Egeria, is there to help him.
