2025 FIA Extreme H World Cup

Round	Event	Location	Dates
1	FIA Extreme H World Cup	Qiddiya City, Saudi Arabia	9–11 October 2025

Much like in Extreme E, teams are required to field one male and one female driver, with equal driving duties and driver changes taking place in a designated switch zone.^[7] An Extreme H weekend consists of three disciplines—time trial, head-to-head and multi-car—each awarding pool points that contribute towards setting the starting grid for the World Cup final.^[8]

Competition starts with time trials in the form of single-car runs against the clock. Two sessions take place and combined times determine the standings. Head-to-head sees teams compete side-by-side in a series of drag races. A knockout system is used, with 16 heats (four for each team, two per driver) followed by the semi-finals and final. The third and final discipline, multi-car, inherits the off-road racing element of Extreme E. Two qualifying rounds are held, each with a pair of four-lap, four-car heats. Points scored across the three disciplines allow teams to choose their preferred starting spot for the grand final, with the novelty that all eight cars get to race each other in a four-lap shootout. The winner of the World Cup Final is declared the overall event winner.^[9]

Eight teams made up the grid, with all but one carrying over from Extreme's Final Lap.^[10][11] The exception was Acciona | Sainz, whose technical partner QEV Technologies entered under its commercial brand ZEROID.^[12] All teams used one of the identical Pioneer 25 hydrogen SUVs manufactured by Spark Racing Technology and consisted of a male and a female driver, who shared a car and had equal driving duties.^[13]
