Extreme E, the pioneering electric off-road racing series, is teaming up with WSC Sports, the global leader in artificial intelligence (AI)-driven sports video technology ahead of its second X Prix from 29-30 May 2021 at Lac Rose in Dakar, Senegal. Extreme E will have access to WSC Sports' cloud-based live-clipping platform Clipro, allowing the series to create and publish near-live and post-race highlights in a matter of seconds, as well as WSC Sports' innovative Graphics Engine, which automatically adds stunning visuals to videos to help brand and monetise content. During the series Extreme E and WSC Sports will work closely to apply WSC Sports' state-of-the-art AI technology to automatically generate real time highlights for this new sport. WSC Sports has already adapted its technology to support car racing working in 2020 with its partner NASCAR to automatically produce real-time race highlights. WSC Sports will also assist Extreme E in distributing race highlights to all its media partners, as well as drivers' social channels thanks to WSC Sports' partnership with Socialie.
