Translation Formula 1 electricity will rust and compete with hydrogen 27 September 2024 International Automobile Federation FIA decided to convert Extreme E, the off-road racing series where electric vehicles compete, to Extreme H, where hydrogen vehicles compete. HidrojenHaber – Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile or known as the International Automobile Federation FIA for short; surprised sports fans by deciding to convert Extreme E, the off-road racing series where electric vehicles compete, to Extreme H where hydrogen vehicles compete. According to the plan, a 'Hydrogen Working Group' consisting of representatives of the 'three industries' will be established, consisting of Extreme E Technical Director Mark Grain, F1 Chief Technical Officer Pat Symonds and FIA One-Seat Vehicles Director Nikolas Tombazis. The group will not only oversee the passage of the Extreme E, but also the fuel cells of motorsport vehicles and hydrogen applications in energy storage. The group will also consider the role of hydrogen in race ground infrastructure, transportation, charging, storage and management, and its safety effects. In the rebranded series, hydrogen-powered vehicles will compete for the first time. The racing series will start in April 2025 and there will be ten race laps in five locations. The drivers will start their racing seasons in Saudi Arabia, then travel to England, Germany, Italy and end the 2025 season in the USA. The teams that will compete in the 2025 season have not yet been announced. Meanwhile, Formula 1 is increasing its efforts to achieve its goals of being carbon neutral by 2030. The collaboration between FIA, Formula 1 and Extreme E draws attention with the synergy created by the three organizations in their efforts to achieve their sustainability goals. Extreme H is set to become a FIA World Championship race by 2026. While the transition to Extreme H showcases how motorsports see the future, it is stated that it will serve to raise awareness about the effects of climate change.

Did you know that third-generation Formula E is so efficient that on the Monaco circuit, where both F1 and Formula E races are held, the energy consumed by F1 in two laps is enough for Formula E to complete an entire race of over 30 laps? Moreover, Formula E accelerates faster than F1, up to 100 km/h, and all this progress has been made in just 10 years. Formula E's efficiency and performance have become so high that no motorsport discipline in the world currently surpasses it in terms of performance and energy consumption. Thanks to the challenge in motorsport to create the most modern and efficient technologies, we can improve daily mobility and discover new opportunities. For those who don't know, the Blue Shock Race electric kart has been featured on the Top Gear show alongside Formula E as the closest alternative that could try to surpass it on the Gotlandring track. The technological breakthrough is magical.
