Extreme E, the innovative new electric off-road series, has completed its first group test at MotorLand Aragón, Spain, with many of the world’s biggest names in rally and off-road racing joining together.
The impressive line-up, which included rally legends Sébastien Loeb and Carlos Sainz, World Rallycross champions Johan Kristoffersson, Timmy Hansen, and Mattias Ekström, Dakar Rally hotshots Cristina Gutiérrez and Laia Sanz, W Series Champion Jamie Chadwick, and Australian Rally Champion Molly Taylor, among more, marked an all-star meet up as the Extreme E teams got their first joint display.
It was also the first chance the drivers had to feel the full potential of the championship’s 400kW (550bhp) ODYSSEY 21 electric SUV as the first X Prix in Saudi Arabia, March 2021, draws ever closer.

The only innovation is in the format and assembly of an electric SUV. All existing technology.
I’m not sure if the racing format is extended XRC or reduced Enduro racing.
2 lap races of 5/10 miles all over in a blink. Hardly worth the effort of taking the whole shebang to allegedly damaged areas of the planet.
Like Formula E it’s driven by it’s media and will pick up support from team sponsors to fans by its own propaganda until it plateaus.
E cars are liberal projects that will never go anywhere. In the US affordable care act was suppose to provide low cost health to everyone. Well COVID sure did help. Enjoy sure 2 hour charge.
