Phoenix Among Extreme E Season 4 Calendar Stops

Phoenix will host the final two rounds of racing for the 2024 Extreme E season, the fourth campaign for the off-road racing series founded by the same team behind Formula E, which showcases electric SUVs and futuristic technologies in some of the world’s most remote and challenging environments.

“To head to the USA for the first time for our season finale is an important milestone for our series and a fitting conclusion to the year,” said Extreme E Founder and Chief Executive Officer Alejandro Agag. “It is a key market for us and there is plenty of passion for off-road racing across the country, so we are looking forward to Extreme E’s debut in North America which will likely crown the victors of the championship.”

Extreme E’s goal is to highlight the impact of climate change in some of the world’s most endangered environments, promote the adoption of electric vehicles to pave the way for a lower carbon future and provide a gender-equal motorsport platform. The third season this year for the series included stops in Saudi Arabia, Scotland, Sardinia and Chile.

Extreme E’s 2024 season starts February 17 for two days of racing at a new location near Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The championship’s next three X Prix will take place across Europe, with the location of Rounds 3 and 4 on July 13-14 to be announced in the new year. The series will then play host to back-to-back rounds in the Italian island of Sardinia in September for Rounds 5 and 6 on September 14-15 before Rounds 7 and 8 on September 21-22. The Sardinian rounds will also be the setting for demonstration and testing of the Extreme H cars ahead of their full debut in 2025. Extreme H will be the world’s first off-road racing series to be powered by hydrogen.

The conclusion of Season 4 will take place in Phoenix on November 23-24, the first time the series has been to the United States.

“Saudi Arabia has always delivered a thrilling spectacle on track and we are expecting more of the same in February at an exciting new location near Jeddah,” Agag said. “The location of our European race in July will be announced soon. While we continue a dedicated testing programme of the new Extreme H car, holding spectacular races across the European continent during the middle leg of the season is important for streamlining our operations and so we are excited to return to Sardinia in September. I would like to thank the Automobile Club d’Italia and Regione Sardegna for their unwavering support for our series and a doubleheader on the Italian island is a prospect we are all looking forward to. Sardinia is also likely to be the setting of the Extreme H car’s first public laps on an off-road race course, which will be an historic moment for motorsport and hydrogen power.”
