Extreme E has confirmed that its Season 1 finale, ‘the Jurassic X Prix’, will take place in Bovington, Dorset, on 18-19 December 2021.
The series sees electric SUVs competing in extreme environments around the world to promote the adoption of electric vehicles and clean technology solutions in the quest for a lower carbon future for the planet.
Starting in March 2021, it has so far included stops in Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Greenland, and includes some of the biggest names in motorsport, with teams owned by Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button and Nico Rosberg.
It’s also the first ever fully gender equal motorsport with one male and female driver per team, featuring top British racers Catie Munnings and Jamie Chadwick amongst its female talent.
Founder and CEO said: “I’m very excited by this race location – our first event on UK soil.
“This move is a poignant shift in our mission to race in remote, far-away places to highlight the effects of climate change, as more increasingly, the issues we talk about are literally happening in our backyards so it felt like the right time to bring the spotlight home.”
