Ellis Spiezia & Ellysium Racing - The Electric Racing Renegade

“The quickest way to become a millionaire in racing is to start out as a billionaire.”

Ellis Spiezia is known as the electric renegade and is the first native electric racing driver. He, along with his parents Michelle and Francesco, comprise the Ellysium Racing Team.

Marcus chats with the team about the pros and cons of electric vs combustion racing, the financial and lifestyle realities of getting to the top of the racing world, the fears of a parent watching their child crash at high speed, and the lowdown on working and travelling together full-time as a family. 

Off the track Ellysium is pioneering a new way of developing a brand in sport. They are leaning into the metaverse and blockchain technology, having created their own virtual fan space. They also donate to animal welfare and climate change organisations through HIA, and aim to increase these donations as they move up the world rankings.
