2021 Extreme E calendar announced

The 2021 Extreme E calendar has been revealed, the first season for this new all-electric, off-road, one-make racing series. It will begin next year, at a virtual event, and as we’ve previously reported, the new series will feature, among a star cast, teams founded by F1 world champions, Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.

The Global Series Launch, which premiered the full season as well as the full team roster – liveries and all – was fully virtual, with representatives joining proceedings remotely from across the globe. The big news is that the timetable is revised, with a new finale in Argentine Patagonia.

“We are delighted to confirm that Patagonia in Argentina will feature in our Season 1 calendar, and it will certainly make an incredible race experience for teams and viewers alike,” said Alejandro Agag, Founder and CEO of Extreme E. Agag went on to highlight the serious environmental significance of the location, given it is under threat from glacial retreat.

“Our Virtual Launch has been an incredible format to unveil our Season 1 calendar and the team cars, whilst also refining our virtual experience capabilities – a key theme of Extreme E – particularly during the time of COVID-19.

“Our team has been working really hard behind the scenes and despite the pandemic and the challenges it has provided, we are on track for our first race in March 2021. The series has gained massive momentum with no less than two Formula 1 World Champions signing up with their own teams alongside other powerhouses in the motorsport world, and there is much more to come as we announce drivers in the coming months.”
