Off-road hydrogen racing world championship starts in 2025 -.

As we move closer and closer to a cleaner and more sustainable world, motorsports is looking to adapt as well, and one of the newest developments in this area comes in the form of Extreme E. After being conceptualized years earlier, the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) has now signed an agreement with Extreme E to bring to life an off-road hydrogen-powered SUV world championship, all starting in 2025.

The tournament will begin in 2025 and then hopefully become an official FIA World Championship in 2026 and beyond, along with just seven other FIA World Championships, including Formula E, F1 and WRC.

“Setting up a world first in the world hydrogen racing championship alongside the FIA will be a momentous milestone for Extreme E and the new Extreme H series,” said Alejandro Agag, founder and CEO of Extreme E. “Possible accreditation as an FIA championship and then as an FIA world championship means that we are among the top global motorsports categories, and Extreme H would be the first-ever world championship racing series of its kind.”

Although no exact date has been given, we can look forward to prototype cars for the tournament to make their debut by the end of the year.
