Bold step into the future of mobility without risking everything on unstable electrical grids.

Will the first-ever hydrogen racing championship boost interest in H2-powered vehicles? By ANGIE BERGENSON Extreme H will be a world-first racing championship of its kind. An off-road hydrogen racing series is in the works to become the first hydrogen-powered vehicle racing FIA (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile) World Championship. The inaugural season is slated for 2025. The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile is pursuing a hydrogen-powered future, and has delivered a strong statement of intent, setting out a framework to create the first ever off-road hydrogen racing world championship.

Did you know that third-generation Formula E is so efficient that on the Monaco circuit, where both F1 and Formula E races are held, the energy consumed by F1 in two laps is enough for Formula E to complete an entire race of over 30 laps? Moreover, Formula E accelerates faster than F1, up to 100 km/h, and all this progress has been made in just 10 years. Formula E's efficiency and performance have become so high that no motorsport discipline in the world currently surpasses it in terms of performance and energy consumption. Thanks to the challenge in motorsport to create the most modern and efficient technologies, we can improve daily mobility and discover new opportunities. For those who don't know, the Blue Shock Race electric kart has been featured on the Top Gear show alongside Formula E as the closest alternative that could try to surpass it on the Gotlandring track. The technological breakthrough is magical.

ICE makes so little sense... energetically, economically and ecologically.

Extreme E and the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile are excited to announce plans for the first-ever off-road hydrogen racing world championship. The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) and Extreme E have signed an agreement to create the first-ever hydrogen off-road racing world championship, Extreme H, which will host its inaugural season in 2025, with the intention to make the step to an FIA World Championship from 2026. The pathway also outlines that in 2024, Extreme E would be recognised as an FIA Championship. Mohammed Ben Sulayem, President of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, said: “We are excited to continue working with Extreme E on their journey to becoming an FIA World Championship. Using sustainable power sources in motor sport is the key objective of the FIA and part of our long-term strategy, and this series is an ideal showcase for that.” This is a momentous step forward for Extreme E, and an important milestone for Extreme H and our transition to a hydrogen-powered future!

Introducing the Female World Superbike Championship Inspired by Enzo Ferrari's concept of "Garagismo," the Female World Superbike Championship embraces the spirit of innovation and resourcefulness. This pioneering championship is founded on principles that celebrate the ingenuity of smaller teams and their ability to compete at the highest levels of motor racing. The Spirit of Garagismo "Garagismo" refers to the approach of small, passionate teams who, with limited resources but boundless ingenuity, challenged the established giants of racing. It's a philosophy that values swift adaptation, creative engineering, and the audacity to take on the titans of the track. Regulations Overview The regulations of the Female World Superbike Championship are crafted to foster this competitive ethos: - Diversity of Manufacturers: Unlike a single-make series, the championship welcomes various motorcycle brands, allowing riders to choose machines that align with their racing style. - Technical Specifications: All motorcycles must adhere to strict technical and safety specifications, ensuring that races are won by skill and strategy, not merely technological advantage. - Fair Competition: The regulations are designed to maintain a level playing field, where the true test is the rider's ability to harness the machine's potential. This championship is not just about racing; it's a homage to the "Garagismo" spirit—a testament to the belief that passion, innovation, and a competitive drive can triumph on the world stage. 🏍️🏆✨
