Extreme E has announced its schedule for the 2024 season, gearing up for its fourth year as an innovative off-road racing championship.
The new season is set to kick off in a stunning desert landscape near Jeddah on February 17 and 18, promising an exciting blend of speed, skill, and the raw beauty of the desert.
Then, the championship will move across Europe. The specific location for Rounds 3 and 4, scheduled for July 13 and 14, remains a mystery, adding to the anticipation for both fans and competitors.
A highlight of the season is the return to Sardinia in September. This beautiful Italian island has become an essential element of the Extreme E calendar, known for its stunning Mediterranean views. But it's not just about the races; Sardinia will also serve as a crucial stage for the revolutionary Extreme H cars. These hydrogen-powered vehicles represent a significant advancement in sustainable racing, and their demonstration and testing in Sardinia mark a crucial moment in the evolution of motorsport.
The grand finale of the season in Phoenix, Arizona, promises to be a historic event. Bringing Extreme E to the U.S. for the first time is a testament to the growing appeal and excitement of this off-road racing series. It's a fitting venue to conclude a season that promises to be full of high-octane drama and innovative advances in racing technology.
Alejandro Agag's enthusiasm is contagious. As the founder and CEO of Extreme E, he highlights the importance of each location and the strategic significance of these choices. From the anticipated excitement in Saudi Arabia to the thrill of European races and the historic debut of Extreme H cars in Sardinia, each event is meticulously planned to deliver an unforgettable experience.
The leap into the U.S. market with the finale in Phoenix is particularly noteworthy. It's not just a new race; it's an entry into a region with a deep-rooted love for off-road racing. This move could significantly amplify the series' reach and impact, potentially attracting an entirely new fan base.
