On International Women's Day, Vantage UK unveiled an inspiring video featuring Cristina Gutiérrez, the female driver for the NEOM McLaren Extreme E team.

The release aims to highlight inclusivity and empowerment, aligning with the theme for International Women's Day 2024, ‘Inspire Inclusion’.

Cristina has achieved significant milestones in her career, becoming the first Spanish female car driver to complete the Dakar Rally in 2017 and the inaugural female driver to secure the FIA World Cup for Cross-Country Rallies in 2021. By 2024, she triumphed in the challenger category of the Dakar Rally, often referred to as the most demanding rally globally.

In the video, Cristina Gutiérrez reflects on the significance of International Women's Day for her and provides insights into the obstacles she has overcome throughout her career. Transitioning from a young girl on a modest motorbike to a celebrated driver for NEOM McLaren Extreme E, Cristina's extraordinary path serves as a beacon of motivation for women and girls worldwide to discover their talents and follow their dreams.

"International Women's Day is a very important day. It is a day for us to showcase what we can do, inspire other women, and fight for the rights of women around the world," expresses Cristina Gutiérrez. "Through initiatives like this collaboration with Vantage Markets, I hope to inspire young girls to pursue their dreams fearlessly, love themselves, and never stop fighting for their rights."

"We are honoured to commemorate International Women's Day alongside NEOM McLaren Extreme E once again," states David Shayer, CEO of Vantage UK. "On this occasion, we are privileged to share Cristina's profound message of empowerment and inclusion. Vantage remains steadfast in our commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion, and empowering women and girls globally. We are proud to be aligned with NEOM McLaren Extreme E, an organisation that shares our dedication to these fundamental values."
