As both a motorsport enthusiast and clean energy advocate, Prince Albert II's involvement aligns perfectly with Extreme H's mission. Alejandro Agag, Extreme H's founder, praised the Prince's environmental leadership and highlighted how the demonstration symbolizes hydrogen's transformative potential in motorsport.

This royal connection follows a tradition of royal involvement in Extreme racing series, including Prince William's test of the Extreme E Odyssey 21 at Knockhill Circuit in 2021 and Prince Khalid Bin Sultan Al Abdullah Al Faisal's regular attendance at Saudi Arabian events.
