Extreme H

[Trig]

So, the end of this year brings about the 'end' of Extreme-E, or at least what we know as 'E', they'll be running the new Pioneer 25 car from Spark..

The Extreme H car, aptly titled the Pioneer 25 as the series begins its innovative new era, is a completely new car, which has been in development ever since the announcement of the world’s first hydrogen motor racing championship was made in 2022.

The car is designed and manufactured by Spark Racing Technology and equipped with a hydrogen fuel cell from Symbio, Extreme H’s Official Fuel Cell Provider, and has undergone an intensive testing programme equivalent to three seasons of racing in readiness for its debut campaign.

Symbio will provide a 75kW hydrogen fuel cell replacing the battery as the principal energy source. The hydrogen fuel cell powers the battery pack that is produced and supported trackside by Fortescue ZERO. Hydrogen fuel cells represent a technological revolution that is now becoming a widespread reality, with this technology already being used behind the scenes in Extreme E, where it provides the energy source to the vehicle’s batteries.

The Pioneer 25’s peak 400kw (550hp) output is capable of firing the 2200 kilogram, 2.4 metre-wide race car from 0-100kph in 4.5 seconds and scale gradients of up to 130 per cent.

Will get to have a look at this in a few weeks as they're bringing it to Scotland to do some testing, it'll then be testing in Sardinia in September as well..


The calendar so far looks like it'll start in April with races in Saudi, UK, Germany, Italy and North America.
Saudi is to be expected as the PIF fund the series, UK, could be anywhere, we're raced in Bovington and Scotland but other places have been dropped into discussions before, Germany will be a new one, Italy, probably Sardinia and North America might be Phoenix given that's where the last round this year is going to be..
