Ahead of this season, I’ve made a concerted effort to improve my strength and fitness to ensure I’m ready for all the physical challenges that come with competing in both Formula E and IMSA endurance events. In fact, I’ve probably trained more in the past six months than in the past six years! I’ve always … Read more
This year we’ve welcomed a Kia e-Niro* to the Sims family fleet, and so far I’ve been pretty impressed. I’ve been driving an EV as my daily run-around since 2012 and have tested a fair few models in that time.

I’ve had time to sit back and reflect on winning the 2020 ADAC TOTAL 24H at the Nürburgring, and here are my thoughts.
I’m very much looking forward to getting back on track with BMW for Formula E. It’s time to go racing!
For some time now, I’ve been trying to make everyday choices and incorporate habits that make my lifestyle more sustainable.
The 33-year-old Londoner has been involved in Formula E since the series’ inception in 2014, initially testing cars before securing a race seat in Season 5 with BMW i Andretti Motorsport. Highlights in his first season included a pole position and second place finish in New York. Alexander had an impressive start to his second season, taking pole positions for both races of the opening round in Saudi Arabia and taking his maiden win in race two. It also made him the first driver to take three consecutive pole positions in Formula E.
Alexander currently races for Mahindra Racing.
Alongside his Formula E racing activities, Sims is a passionate advocate for sustainability and electric mobility on the road, having owned and driven EVs since 2012 and aims to incorporate sustainable choices into his daily lifestyle.
