Home advantage: Veloce Racing takes aim at Extreme E finale
Veloce Racing is primed to see out the 2021 Extreme E season on home soil this weekend (17-19 December) as the inaugural season of the off-road all-electric racing series reaches its dramatic conclusion with the Jurassic X Prix in Dorset, England.
At the wheel is newly crowned two-time W Series champion Jamie Chadwick. The 23-year-old returns to the championship after missing the previous two rounds, owing to calendar clashes with the single-seater category.
Chadwick will be joined by the team’s season-long Reserve and Development Driver Lance Woolridge. The South African ace joins the squad for the final round of the season after a successful year of racing in his home country, as well as attending several X Prix providing invaluable advice and insight to Veloce.
The 2021 season has been one of highs and lows for the London-based squad. The Desert X Prix in Saudi Arabia would signal the start of the championship and a troubled first race for Veloce, with the green and black ODYSSEY 21 dramatically rolling out of contention on the first competitive lap of the weekend.
In Senegal, however, the team would fare much better. In a battle of attrition, a calm and collected approach across the event saw the team pick up its first-ever podium finish with a well earned second place.
Next up was Greenland and the Arctic X Prix. A race that saw the #5 squad produce eye-catching pace in the qualifying stages, only to be cruelly denied a place in the final as a result of an all-or-nothing lunge over the ‘Rock Garden’ that ultimately ended with suspension failure mere metres from the finish line.
The penultimate round of the season saw the drivers go head-to-head in Sardinia, Italy at the Island X Prix. Once more, the Veloce squad looked to be in fine fettle, setting promising lap times from the outset. It was not to be, however, with the car ending the Crazy Race on the sidelines following a spectacular crash.
For the final race of Extreme E’s first-ever season, with a fresh driver line-up and renewed motivation, the team have their sights set on a strong showing in Dorset to carry through the winter break.
Lance Woolridge, Driver, Veloce Racing said: “I’m really pleased that Veloce has given me the opportunity to race at the final round of the season. We’ve all put a lot of work in to make sure the car is performing at the best possible level all year and now to be able to put that into practice is incredible.
“Jamie [Chadwick] has had a brilliant year with the podium back in Senegal as well as her W Series championship, so I’m confident that together we’re capable of getting a good result for the team to cap off the season!”
Jamie Chadwick, Driver, Veloce Racing commented: “I can’t believe it’s the end of the season already. It feels like yesterday that we were all in Saudi Arabia not knowing what to expect from this amazing new series.
“It’s great to be returning for this final race and I’m excited to see what Lance [Woolridge] and I can accomplish together. The last time I drove the ODYSSEY 21 car we got a podium, so I think it’s only natural to set another top-three finish as the target for this weekend.”
Rupert Svendsen-Cook, Co-Founder & CEO Veloce Group added: “Everyone is really excited for Veloce’s home race in Extreme E, and true to form, the British weather looks to have provided us with some of the most extreme conditions faced so far with a very muddy course! We’re also very happy to have Jamie and Lance on board for the final event of the year – it’s great to give them the opportunity together.
“As with all debut seasons, we have had some ‘learning experiences’ along the way and we are well-positioned to maximise the weekend both on and off track with our loyal partners. Regardless of the result in Dorset, Extreme E has put on an excellent show in its first year and Veloce is proud to have been a part of it.”

FBM® adds a new hero to its slots collection with Hippo’s Lock™ launch in Mexico

Time to power up your spins and collect big wins with Hippo’s Lock in Mexico. The new slot adventure launched by FBM® has Super Hippo as a hero, delivering entertaining gaming sessions with the Lock Feature, the Power Spins and Extra Spins accumulators. The game is available to play on the Auria, Galaxy II and Shadow III casino cabinets and is set for a fast expansion in the Mexican gaming market.
Hippo’s Lock is the latest slot title developed by FBM and brings a new theme with a charismatic hero, equipped with gadgets and special powers which will attract and engage slot players in Mexico.
The 30-lines game works with 15 independent reels, and the main action happens around the central position with Super Hippo’s intervention. The purple hippo guides the game narrative, taking players on an exciting gaming journey with non-stop action, suspense, and compelling animations.
The “X” effect of Power Spins joins the lucrative Extra Spins
Every time Super Hippo lands on the central reel, he bites the lock symbols and creates the chance to open the bonus mode with Power Spins, Extra Spins or the two accumulators combined.
When the Hippo’s Lock bonus starts with one accumulator, players guarantee five free spins. This number increases to ten free rounds if Super Hippo triggers Power Spins and Extra Spins at the same time. Each one of the accumulators has a special power:
- Extra Spins – Super Hippo uses its backpack to shoot lasers, increasing the number of free spins displayed in the counter.
- Power Spins – Super Hippo multiplies all coins, bags, Mini and Minor jackpots by 2, 3 or 5, leading players to a significant prize.
Super Hippo remains in the central position during all bonus rounds, and the special powers of the accumulators activated may repeat several times until the bonus rounds are over.
A kit of jackpots and gadgets to achieve big wins!
The bonus ignited by the Lock feature concentrates Super Hippo’s main powers. However, the game character has more tricks and resources to captivate and involve players:
- Jackpots – Hippo’s Lock offers access to four jackpot levels – Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand – through the vault symbol, which may appear on the reels during the main game or bonus rounds.
- Rewind – What if a gadget could change the symbols on the reels and lead players to bigger wins? That is the magic of the Rewind Feature activated by Super Hippo using its bracelet.
- Luck Has Arrived – Super Hippo announces a special flight on the screen with a message and takes off anticipating a lucrative game round for the player.
A slot game compatible with several casino cabinets and layouts!
Hippo’s Lock combines a fascinating game mechanic with an appealing feature set exhibited by an intriguing character through cutting-edge graphics, animations, and sound effects. This blend captures the interest of first-time players, delivering enjoyable gaming sessions that encourage them to return for more.
Hippo’s Lock reinforces the Lock product line FBM debuted this year with the Croc’s Lock theme launch. This new game title introduces a new hero, a new accumulator, and new thrills to the gaming sessions delivered by the global gaming brand’s slots portfolio.
Available on the Galaxy II, Auria and Shadow III casino cabinets, Hippo’s Lock starts its expansion journey in Mexico and intends to surpass the high expectations of local slot fans with long-lasting gaming sessions filled with prizes and adrenaline. The following plans include a global expansion having the US as the next showcase market for this FBM casino game.
