The FIA Extreme H World Cup is the first hydrogen-powered racing event officially sanctioned by the FIA, showcasing advanced fuel cell technology as a sustainable, zero-emission energy source for motorsport.
Evolving from the Extreme E series, this event demonstrates the potential of hydrogen power in the automotive and racing industries, underscoring motorsport's role in testing clean energy solutions.
Alongside its environmental objectives, the series mandates gender parity, requiring teams to field equal numbers of male and female drivers. This initiative promotes equitable competition and broader audience engagement.
The inaugural FIA Extreme H World Cup was held in Qiddiya City, Saudi Arabia, where the home team, Jameel Motorsport—driven by Molly Taylor and Kevin Hansen—secured victory in the first-ever FIA-sanctioned hydrogen-powered motorsport event.
The three-day competition featured 16 leading off-road racers from eight teams, competing in three racing disciplines over challenging desert terrain.
