Last year the crew of Jean-Eric Vergne and Adrian Newey’s team had a tough season in the electric SUV championship.
Jamie Chadwick only ran three of the five rounds on the calendar, while Stéphane Sarrazin was on foot before the last race due to too many accidents.
Woolridge, who was the men’s reserve for Veloce in 2021, has now been promoted to starter after he amazed everyone when he replaced Sarrazin for the Jurassic X-Prix in December, recovering after a spin in the semifinal putting pressure on Sebastien Loeb and Kevin Hansen. .

“This is a great opportunity to continue with the team after a very promising race in Dorset at the end of last season,” said Woolridge.
“Even if we didn’t make it to the final, I think it was clear that we were strong, therefore with solid foundations from which to start again in 2022”.
“Veloce Racing is a great team with a really dedicated group of people behind the scenes, so I’m happy to work with them again.”
“Christine did a great job last season, so I’m confident we can achieve great things together.”
Veloce team principal Rupert Svendsen-Cook added: “As with any motorsport series, especially the Extreme E due to its unpredictability, it is important to have a balance between one season and another, so it’s great to have Lance with us. after the excellent debut in the final of 2021 “.
“We both had to be patient with each other, and I want to acknowledge Lance’s commitment to Veloce when he was a reserve for us; we are very happy to finally honor him with the starting role.”
