  • Veloce Racing driver goes ‘back to school’ to inspire the next generation
  • 22-year-old discusses topics including education, sustainability and gender equality
  • Virtual visit to mark United Nations’ International Day of Education
  • Zoom class comes at an unprecedented time for educational norms

In celebration of the third annual United Nations International Day of Education, Veloce Racing Extreme E driver Jamie Chadwick went ‘back to school’ today (25 January) to talk to students at Harris Academy Battersea. Chadwick engaged with the students at length around her career and the new challenge she faces in the pioneering all-electric off-road series.

As a consequence of COVID-19, 1.5 billion young people have been impacted by school closures across 184 countries globally. In the UK, this has led to the vast majority of students currently being home-schooled. Now, more than ever, educational establishments are looking for exciting and inspirational activities to ensure children and teenagers remain focussed and engaged in their lessons.

With support from Girls on Track UK – a Motorsport UK initiative supporting the participation of women in motorsport – 22-year-old Williams F1 Development driver Chadwick was able to engage with over 300 Harris Academy Battersea students for a truly unique educational experience via video call.

As the inaugural W Series Champion and one of nine female drivers in Extreme E, Jamie was perfectly-placed to discuss topical subjects such as careers, gender equality, sustainability and climate change with students, prompting a great deal of enthusiastic discussion.

Jamie Chadwick, Driver, Veloce Racing, said: 

“It was fun being able to talk to students who were so inquisitive about what I do and the series I race in. I really enjoyed answering their questions and I have to say a big ‘thank you’ to Girls on Track for helping to make this possible!

“I think it’s so important to inspire the next generation regarding some of the biggest subjects in today’s world like education, gender equality and climate change, especially during such difficult times for all of us. I hope it gets them all thinking about these issues and ways in which we can make a difference.”

Mr Carr, Vice Principal, Harris Academy Battersea, added: 

“The students had a fantastic time hearing about Jamie’s experience, her passion for her sport and career and her insight into her exciting new challenge with Veloce Racing and Extreme E. She is clearly a rising star in the sport and a great role model for young people, and she was very knowledgeable and really grabbed their attention from the word ‘go’.

“I think I speak for everyone when I say we thoroughly enjoyed Jamie’s virtual visit today and would love to welcome her back when she is able to visit the school in person!”

Sue Sanders, Director of Learning and Development, Motorsport UK commented: 

“Girls on Track UK is delighted to have been instrumental in Jamie’s virtual visit today at the Harris Academy.  With an already impressive list of achievements to her name, as well as her role as a Girls on Track UK ambassador, Jamie is undoubtedly a brilliant and motivational role model for all young people.

“Jamie’s imminent debut racing for Veloce in Extreme E certainly made for enthusiastic and topical conversation with the pupils, particularly around equality and sustainability within motorsport, which was really inspiring to see.

“A huge thank you to Harris Academy, to Jamie and to Veloce for making this happen today – and  we really look forward to a Girls on Track UK event in-person at the school just as soon as restrictions are lifted.”

2026 World Cup

Bet St George survey: 40% of England fans tip World Cup win

bet-st-george-survey:-40%-of-england-fans-tip-world-cup-win

Bet St George has published new research claiming four in ten England fans expect the Three Lions to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The betting brand said the poll of 1,000 England sports fans was conducted between 15 and 18 May 2026, with the tournament set to start on Thursday.

In the survey, 40% of respondents said they expect England to lift the trophy in North America this summer. Optimism is highest among 25 to 34 year olds, where 67% backed England to win.

The research also points to a broader national narrative around the team. Nearly three-quarters (72%) of fans agreed that the England team brings the nation together. Separately, 26% said a World Cup win would rank among their top three most important life events, rising to 31% among men.

Regionally, Bet St George said England sports fans living in Scotland were the most confident cohort in the dataset, with 77% backing England to win and 96% agreeing the team brings the nation together. Greater London also skewed optimistic (53% backing England; 36% placing a win among their most important life events), while Yorkshire and the Humber was more cautious (31% backing England; 19% ranking a win as a top life moment).

Andre Au, Marketing Director at Bet St George, said: “England has one of the most passionate sporting audiences in the world, but for a long time, it was the only nation in the UK without a sportsbook built around its own identity.

“We created Bet St George because supporting England is different. World Cup fever hits massively once the squad is announced. For England, it is the expectation. It’s all about the previous hurt, penalty shoot-outs, the build-up, the predictions, and the debates with your mates. The whole nation feels that this tournament might finally be the one.”

Advanced Compliance Technology (ACT), an independent provider of geolocation, sports integrity and risk solutions for the global regulated betting and gaming industry, has launched its next-generation AI and machine learning-powered Compliance and Integrity Platform.

The new platform brings together geolocation, identity verification, fraud detection, behavioural monitoring and sports integrity checks into a single, real-time solution.

The self-optimising platform leverages advanced AI and machine learning (ML) models to process and analyse 100,000s of data points related to athletes, leagues, officials, teams, betting markets, bookmakers, player activity, transactional behaviour and geolocation intelligence.

Advanced ML models also monitor player performance, injuries and behavioural patterns to identify anomalies, suspicious activity, integrity risks and emerging compliance threats as they develop.

When an alert is raised, ACT’s team of compliance, fraud and integrity specialists are on hand to support customers with expert judgements, providing even greater confidence through human-in-the-loop oversight.

By bringing these traditionally siloed compliance disciplines together, ACT’s new dashboard provides operators, regulators and sport governing bodies with a unified view of risk across the entire player and betting lifecycle, facilitating faster, more informed decisions based on live data and risk analysis.

Mike Venner, Co-Founder and Director at Advanced Compliance Technology, said: “Traditional compliance systems were built in silos. ACT is building the next-generation oversight platform, bringing geolocation, KYC, AML, fraud detection, behavioural monitoring, and sports integrity together in a single AI and machine learning-powered ecosystem.

“By transforming fragmented data into connected intelligence, ACT identifies risks and patterns at a scale no human team could achieve alone. Combined with decades of compliance, fraud, and integrity expertise, our platform ensures that advanced technology is reinforced by experienced human oversight, delivering smarter decisions, stronger enforcement, and more effective compliance outcomes.”
