<h3 id="">The world’s first micromobility series is heading to the south of France for the title-deciding final rounds of the 2022 eSkootr Championship™ (eSC). The inaugural champion will be crowned in November at an exciting double-header to be held at the world-famous Circuit Paul Ricard.</h3><p id="">Leading the <a href="https://hub.esc.live/article/62a9ce08f4fabb712a060111-anish-shetty-esc-championship-leader" id="">Riders’ Championship standings is Anish Shetty,</a> who holds a slim five-point advantage over Frenchman <a href="https://hub.esc.live/rider/6271149292c083a811013981-aymard-vernay" id="">Aymard Vernay</a> as the first season of eSC heads to its dramatic climax. With Carlin also <a href="https://hub.esc.live/leaderboard/2022/all/teams" id="">leading the Teams</a>’ standings, the focus will be on whether the Indian rider can achieve a historic double by clinching both titles for himself and his team.</p><p id="">But his quest won’t be plain sailing, as other riders will also be striving for championship honours. One of those vying for contention is freestyle scooter star <a href="https://hub.esc.live/rider/6271149292c0838698013984-matis-neyroud" id="">Matis Neyroud</a>. After a thrilling series of knockout heats, the Swiss rider won the first-ever round of eSC at the Printworks circuit in London back in May. But he failed to repeat the feat on home soil as the championship journeyed to Switzerland. </p><p id="">Another rider to look out for is Italian <a href="https://hub.esc.live/rider/6271149292c083846301396c-sara-cabrini" id="">Sara Cabrini</a>. She took a brilliant lights-to-flag victory on the streets of Sion earlier this year, and with Britain’s <a href="https://hub.esc.live/rider/6271149292c0833b15013987-dan-brooks" id="">Dan Brooks</a> also in the mix after his strong finish in the last round, it should be a thrilling winner-takes-all showdown when the riders take to the Paul Ricard track.<br>‍</p><figure id="" class="w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-center" data-rt-type="image" data-rt-align="center"><div id=""><img src="https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/6271149292c08304130136d4/63564742d1dc6a1386a07eb3_PaulRicardImageEdit%20copy.jpeg" loading="lazy" id="" width="auto" height="auto"></div></figure><p id="">Two points-scoring races will be held at the French venue to provide a spectacular end to a great first season of racing.

The three-star rating recognises the venue’s mission to preserve biodiversity, reduce energy and water consumption and actively promote sustainable mobility for the future.</p><figure id="" class="w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-center" data-rt-type="image" data-rt-align="center"><div id=""><img src="https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/6271149292c08304130136d4/635267fdfcedaf489407a36e_CITY_ANNOUNCE_FRANCE_16x9%20(1).png" loading="lazy" id="" width="auto" height="auto"></div></figure><p id="">To the east is the port city of Marseille, which has already started to embrace the new movement in utilising more efficient and interconnected urban mobility. </p><p id="">The eSkootr Championship has at its core safety and sustainability, with a commitment to inspiring more liveable urban areas.

Owned by Olympic Gold winner and 2x Heavyweight Champion of the World, Anthony Joshua, 258 Racing aim to be the eSC’s big hitters. “I’m a fan and I’m looking forward to seeing the championship develop over time. I’m hoping to, where I can, add a little magic and help the team and championship develop its potential. I look forward to seeing you at a race.” 

Led by former professional road cyclist, Olympian and 24-time Grand Tour veteran, Nico Roche.
Nico originally took part in eSC’s rider testing programme before deciding to set up his own team and carry the Irish flag into competition. He’s playing an active role in building the team and working with the riders and also in a wider role of promoting Ireland’s progressive micromobility stance on the national and international stage. ‘I’m a huge believer in what eSC stands for in terms of accessibility, gender neutrality and sustainability, and have been working closely with the team to be involved in some way.”

The official race team of Helbiz, the world’s leading manufacturer of micro-mobility transport.
Helbiz was founded in 2015 by Italian entrepreneur, Salvatore Palella, with the aim of solving the first mile/last mile transportation problem of high-traffic urban areas around the world. The company produces three types of electric vehicles which includes the industry leading e-scooter that was the first of its kind to be introduced in Italy.
As a front runner in micromobility, Helbiz will also bring the same level of focus and determination to the racing action, aiming to be a front runner from the start.
“eSC takes us into an adrenaline-fueled and exciting world.” – Emanuele Liatti, Helbiz Chief 

Dublin-based Murphy Scooters are led by former Asian F3 driver and Murphy Prototypes founder Greg Murphy. Greg Murphy has spent more than a decade running the Murphy Prototypes team in the European Le Mans Series and 24 Hours of Le Mans with such drivers as Karun Chandhok and Brendan Hartley.
Murphy Prototypes has an ‘Alternative Powered Vehicles’ division which specialises in designing vehicles which use alternative power sources including electricity.
“eSC represents the perfect intersection between our sporting pedigree and advanced technology ambitions,” says Greg. “We look forward to helping create a new generation of racer that will also positively impact the alternative energy and transportation sectors.” 

Founded in 1996, Carlin have won championships in British Formula 3 series and championships in Formula 2, Formula Renault 3.5 and F4. More recently, they have successfully expanded into North America to compete in IndyCar. Drivers who have learnt their trade with Carlin include F1 world champion Sebastian Vettel, plus Daniel Ricciardo, Carlos Sainz Jr and Lando Norris, as well as Indy 500 winners Takuma Sato and Will Power, and Formula E multiple champion Jean-Eric Vergne. “What really appeals to us about eSC is its affordability and accessibility,” said Trevor Carlin. “It really takes a new approach in terms of racing, technology and the overlap into real-life mobility.”


F1 driver Nico Hulkenberg is excited about motorsport and eager to play a role in developing safer, cleaner cities, making him the perfect team owner for eSC. The team will have to work hard if they are to keep up with the Le Mans 24-Hour winner who will be bringing meticulous race preparation and high fitness levels to the grid. ‘Racing in urban cities is unique and will be a great stage to develop sustainable and a safe mobility’ – Nico Hulkenberg 

PLYR:1 became the first team to take victory in an eSC championship thanks to a stellar performance from Matis Neyroud. The young Swiss freestyle scooter rider was on top of his game winning his heat, quarter and semi final on the way to the final where he held of a determine challenge from Dan Brooks. 

Owned by Austrian mountain biker, YouTube sensation and entrepreneur Fabio Wibmer, SICK! Series Racing are the eSC team with a creative edge. Sick! Racing team is the latest venture from mountain biker, YouTube star and serial entrepreneur Fabio Wibmer. Having built a YouTube channel with over 7 million subscribers and more than a billion views, Fabio branched into sports and fashion wear with his SICK! clothing brand. Racing fan Fabio believes that with its combination of high energy competition and creative content, eSC can capture the imaginations of a large audience. “I’m passionate about creating engaging and compelling content that offers viewers something different and pushes boundaries. The racing is completely new and I’m excited to see the series evolve over the coming seasons.”
