Overview
REC 2's sports investment thesis is built around three converging megatrends: the electrification of motorsport, the globalisation of premium sporting events, and the growing demand for ESG-aligned investment in entertainment and media. We target sports properties at the intersection of technology, sustainability and global audience growth — the opposite of traditional asset-heavy sports ownership.
Our portfolio centres on next-generation racing series that showcase clean technology to global audiences of hundreds of millions. SailGP's French Team, E1 Series electric powerboat racing, and Extreme H hydrogen off-road racing are not just sports investments — they are rolling showcases for REC 2's energy and propulsion technologies, providing unparalleled brand visibility and technology validation.
Beyond motorsport, we build strategic positions in sports that are undergoing digital transformation: sports analytics platforms, athlete performance technology, and the emerging convergence of sport with web3 fan engagement and tokenised ownership models.
Why REC 2 is investing here
01
Premium sports rights are among the most resilient asset classes, with global sports media rights growing to $60B+ annually.
02
Clean motorsport series provide REC 2 with direct technology showcasing opportunities — every race is a live demonstration of our hydrogen and electric propulsion investments.
03
Partner relationships with Oracle, Accor, L'Oréal and Leyton bring corporate hospitality, brand activation and co-investment opportunities that amplify returns.
