After a resounding success during the first season, Extreme E is preparing to face the second journey around the world with the intention of transmitting a clear message. Therefore, pay attention to all the details you need to know about the category format, drivers, teams, calendar, car and all the news about the category.

Extreme E was born from the hand of Alejandro Agag with the objective of raising awareness, propose solutions and carry out actions to stop the ferocious advance of climate change. Through motorsports, the idea succeeded in making a positive impact on people, experiencing an abrupt growth in order to face the second campaign.

Extreme E: Format

Ten teams will battle for the win during each X Prix, but to do so, they must follow a strict, entertaining and unique format that will test the skills of drivers and engineers.

The qualifying format consists of a race to define the positions on the race grid according to the finishing place, distributing a points format. On Saturday mornings there are two races (one in the morning and one in the afternoon). Also, there will be two laps to complete, one for each rider (male and female); however, the order will be determined by the teams.

Each classification (1 and 2) will have five cars, with two laps to complete to obtain the following points:

PositionPoints
15 points
24 points
33 points
42 points
51 point

The combined points total between Qualifying 1 and 2 will determine the order of Semifinals 1 and 2, and Crazy Race:

2Semifinal 2
3Semifinal 2
4Semifinal 1
5Semifinal 1
6Semifinal 2
7Crazy Race
8Crazy Race
9Crazy Race
10Crazy Race

The top two drivers from each Semifinal will advance to the final race, while the winner of the Crazy Race will also progress. In this way, five teams will participate at the competition defining the winner of the X Prix. In addition, it is important to highlight that the qualifying points are only to determine the race order, and do not influence the drivers and teams championship.

The championship points system will be governed as follows:

PositionChampionship points
125 points (winner of the Final) 
218 points (2nd place in the Final) 
315 points (3rd place in the Final) 
412 points (4th place in the Final) 
510 points (5th place in the Final) 
608 points (3rd place from Semi-Final 1 or Semi-Final 2)*
706 points(3rd place from Semi-Final 1 or Semi-Final 2)*
804 points (2nd place in the Crazy Race) 
902 points (3rd place in the Crazy Race) 
1001 point (4th place in the Crazy Race)
