Extreme E is an FIA-sanctioned international off-road racing series that uses spec silhouette electric SUVs to race in remote parts of the world, such as the Saudi Arabian desert or the Arctic.[1][2] All racing locations are chosen to raise awareness for some aspects of climate change and Extreme E maintains a "Legacy Programme" which intends to provide social and environmental support for those locations.[3] The series also promotes gender equality in motorsport by mandating that all teams consist of a female and a male driver who share equal driving duties.[4]
The first season began with the Desert X-Prix in Saudi Arabia in April 2021.[5] Rosberg X Racing is the current defending champion.
