New Zealander vows to ‘expect the unexpected’ at unpredictable Extreme E event 

Veloce Racing has announced that Emma Gilmour will step up from her role as the team’s female reserve driver to fill the boots of Jamie Chadwick in the upcoming Arctic X Prix – the third event on Extreme E’s inaugural 2021 calendar.

The New Zealander boasts an impressive résumé having competed in several WRC events, finished runner-up in the New Zealand Rally Championship three times in succession and made an appearance in the 2014 X Games semi-final.

Gilmour will now stand in for Jamie Chadwick at Extreme E’s Kangerlussuaq, Greenland event due to a clash with the Belgian W Series race at Spa-Francorchamps. The reigning champion has opted to race in the all-female series to keep hopes of retaining her 2019 title alive.

The pairing of Stéphane Sarrazin and Chadwick proved a potent one at the Senegal race in May, as the duo drove strategically throughout the event, taking minimal risks and building speed as the weekend progressed.

While others fell by the wayside suffering mechanical failures and getting tangled up in incidents, Veloce Racing weathered the storm securing a maiden podium and a second-place finish as a well-earned reward.

Despite her lack of seat time in Extreme E, Gilmour’s wealth of experience combined with Sarrazin’s knowledge of the series so far, will ensure this renewed partnership and the Veloce Racing Squad are as competitive as ever in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland.

Emma Gilmour, Driver, Veloce Racing commented: 

“I’m so excited to get started. Obviously, I have been involved with Veloce Racing in my role as Reserve Driver so far this season but now to be able to get behind the wheel and go racing is going to be incredible.

“The key is to expect the unexpected. Extreme E has proven in its first two races that anything can – and probably will – happen so I’m going to try and prepare for every eventuality.

“Stéphane [Sarrazin] and Jamie [Chadwick] made an incredible comeback in Senegal after a tough opening round, I’m hoping we can keep that ball rolling into Greenland and secure more big points for the team.

“I’m under no illusions though. This is a tough series with some of the world’s best drivers on the grid. It’s going to be the biggest test of my skills to-date and to do it against such a spectacular backdrop is going to make it even more special.”

Daniel Bailey, CEO, Veloce Racing commented: 

“We’re delighted to be able to give Emma [Gilmour] this opportunity to race with us in Greenland. Of course, we were impressed with her abilities from the outset so we signed up as reserve driver for this kind of scenario.

“Her experience speaks for itself. She’s had a hugely successful career both globally and in New Zealand so I don’t think she’ll have any trouble getting up to speed with this new and innovative series.

“Obviously Jamie will be competing in Belgium as well so it’s going to be a very busy weekend for the team and our biggest test yet, but we’re up for the challenge!

“Stéphane and Jamie did an amazing job last time out so we want to build on that result and continue to push forward this season – Emma is the perfect person to help us do that.”

The Hibernian Summer Games have closed out in style with over $30,000 raised over two weeks of fun and gaming for The Hospital for Sick Children!

Smashing Targets for SickKids

With $36,605 (and 3 cents!) raised against an initial $10,000 fundraising goal, it’s fair to say that the competitors at the inaugural Hibernian Summer Games outperformed even their own wildest expectations. The funds raised for the SickKids Foundation go towards the construction of a new paediatric hospital, enabling SickKids’ physicians and staff to do their best work and empowering the patients and families in their care. Patients such as artist, streamer and fundraiser CarsonDrewIt;

From SickKid to Creator

‘Participation in the Hibernian Summer Games was a great experience and the perfect opportunity to continue my support of SickKids. I grew up with scoliosis; however, doctors caught it fairly late. Being based in the Toronto area, SickKids provided the care and help I needed to get a back brace – greatly improving my quality of life through my teen years and helping to slow the curving of my spine as I progressed into adulthood. This charity event was not only another valuable opportunity to give back to an organisation that has personally helped me, but also a chance to show up for the friends of mine who work for HitGrab, the studio that organized the event. The Hibernian Summer Games felt like the perfect match – raising some money for an organisation I love supporting, experiencing a great game, and making art inspired by it.’ – CarsonDrewit

Thank You from HitGrab

And with that we’d like to say a resounding thank you to all 465 of our donors, to SickKids for partnering with us, and to everyone who participated in the first Hibernian Summer Games. As we press ahead with our future plans for Clan O’Conall, we look forward to new speedrun records being set, Dullahan getting the stuffing knocked out of him several thousand more times, and for many more players to escape the Hellboar by the skin of their teeth. Whether on our social channels, our Steam pages or in Hibernia itself, we look forward to seeing you again soon!
