Veloce Racing continues quest to identify best female talent in motorsport with signing of Hedda Hosås for Extreme E rookie test
Pioneering London-based squad reinforces commitment to gender equality with test outing for Norwegian protégé
Veloce Racing has added yet another rising female star to its roster in the form of Norweigian rallycross racer Hedda Hosås, as the London-based squad continues to position itself as a champion of gender equality. The pioneering motorsport organisation, which has been at the forefront of innovation in the industry since the team’s inception in 2019, has signed up the highly-rated youngster ahead of Extreme E’s rookie test (Tuesday, 26 October) in Sardinia, Italy.
The acquisition of Hosås reaffirms Veloce’s knack for identifying promising female drivers, which has proved fruitful in the past, while it also reinforces a stance on gender equality that has held true throughout the outfit’s endeavours both on and off the circuit for over two years.
Off the track, Veloce has hosted numerous events throughout 2021 such as Epsom College and Gravity Karting, Wandsworth appearances with the FIA Girls On Track initiative as well as ‘The Ultimate Female Racer’ challenge with sister organisation Veloce Esports, highlighting itself as a staunch advocate for women in motorsport.
On the track, meanwhile, Hosås is following in the footsteps of W Series Champion Jamie Chadwick, Brazilian sensation Bruna Tomaselli and the most recent female driver to get behind the wheel of Veloce machinery – Emma Gilmour – who impressed on her debut at the Arctic X Prix.
Having identified Chadwick as a future superstar while under a previous commercial management guise – Veloce Sports – the SW6 squad has a history of spotting, developing and promoting the best female talent in motorsport so Hosås is in good company.
The newly-signed Norwegian sensation’s early career comprised largely of motocross competition before making the transition to rallycross. More recently, she has been competing in the Norwegian Rallycross Championship and made a guest appearance in the Danish championship in September.
Hosås will be joined at the rookie test by Veloce Racing’s male Reserve and Development Driver Lance Woolridge who will relish the opportunity to test the ODYSSEY 21 on an official X Prix course for the first time.
Hedda Hosås, Rookie Driver, Veloce Racing added: “I’m really excited to be getting involved in Extreme E. It’s going to be an entirely new experience as I have been driving in rallycross so far. The car is much bigger in terms of size so that will take some getting used to, but I think it’s really cool that it is electric – that is the future! I can’t wait and feel very lucky that I’ve been given this opportunity.
“I’m looking forward to seeing how the series works. Of course, it’s going to be interesting to see the area and understand the environmental impacts as well as try out the electric power train. Overall, I think It’s going to be a great experience!”
Rupert Svendsen-Cook, Team Principal, Veloce Racing added: “Veloce is proudly committed to developing and promoting the very best female talent in motorsport, with the addition of Hedda being testament to that, alongside what we have achieved with Jamie Chadwick in both the W Series and Extreme E.
“The challenges of Extreme E are particularly unique, with very limited mileage a key factor in some teams choosing to sign more experienced ‘mature’ talent. As a future-facing company here at Veloce, we believe the strategy to invest in younger and upcoming talent to be the right one. We are excited to offer Hedda this opportunity and to work towards success on the global motorsport stage together.”

Inside RedCore’s Communications Hub: The One-Integration Solution Powering Faster, Smarter Messaging
Reading Time: 2 minutes
European Gaming Media visited RedCore’s impressive multi-brand booth at SiGMA Central Europe in Rome to take a closer look at one of their most technically impactful products: the Communications Hub. Designed as an all-in-one solution for digital businesses, the Communications Hub aggregates multiple verified communication providers – from SMS and calls to high-volume messaging services – into a single platform with one integration and one admin panel.
To explore the technology behind the product, we sat down with Bohdan Bulatsan, CTO of the Communications Hub and a seasoned software engineer with over a decade of experience.
At iGaming, speed and reliability are everything. How does Communications Hub keep messages flowing flawlessly even under pressure?
We have developed a new engine designed specifically to keep our customers’ messages moving smoothly, even during high-pressure periods. One of the key features is our block-geo mechanism, which allows account managers to block certain message types or specific regions when needed.
Combined with our backup system and intelligent routing, this ensures that messages continue to reach their destination reliably, no matter the load or external pressure.
You’ve made adding new providers incredibly fast. What’s the secret sauce behind this ‘integration magic’?
Our technical team is constantly improving the integration process because it’s a core priority for us. One of the main reasons we can move so fast is our universal SDK (Software Development Kit). It includes all the common features and connection points that most providers rely on, so when we start an integration, we can do it quickly and efficiently.
We also run strict pre-integration tests to catch any potential issues before going live. All of this makes the entire process smoother, more reliable, and much faster for our clients.
With so much analytics coming from every channel, how do you turn all that data into actionable insights for businesses?
That’s a good question. Our analytics model brings together all the data from every service and communication channel and aggregates it in one place. This makes it much easier for our customers to filter, understand, and work with the information quickly.
Because everything is centralized, businesses can see the full picture and make faster, more informed decisions that directly support their growth and profitability.
How is SiGMA going for the Communications Hub? What’s your feedback from the event and what are your plans for the future?
SiGMA has been a very good event for us. We’ve received a lot of positive feedback from visitors and participants, which is always great to see. Looking ahead, our focus is on expanding the product even further, adding new features and continuing to scale the Communications Hub to meet the needs of our clients.
