Hollywood star Idris Elba invests in new Formula E team
Famous Hollywood actor Idris Elba has become an investor in the newly formed CUPRA KIRO team, which will compete in Formula E, reports The Sun.
"Formula E is at the perfect intersection by blending sport and global entertainment with sustainability. I’m proud to be joining the grid with CUPRA KIRO at this pivotal moment. The team’s vision for the future, desire to innovate, and commitment to excellence resonate with me on a deep, personal level, and I’m looking forward to playing my part in its journey to the front of the grid," said Idris Elba.
This is not Elba’s first foray into motorsport. In 2022, he launched the Idris Elba Speed Academy, an initiative aimed at developing future racing talent among underrepresented communities in motorsports.
Formula E, which features electric car racing, continues to expand its global reach. CEO Jeff Dodds believes that new investors, including Elba, will help accelerate the sport's growth worldwide.
