# 2024 Extreme E Championship

The 2024 Extreme E Championship was the fourth and final season of the Extreme E electric off-road racing series, before the transition to hydrogen fuel cell cars for 2025. The season was abandoned after only 4 of the planned 10 races.

## Calendar

On 21 December 2023, the provisional 2024 season calendar was announced. Saudi Arabia and Sardinia returned from the previous year, the latter as a double-header, with a first trip to the United States replacing Chile as the season finale in America. There was a five-month gap between the season opener in Saudi Arabia and rounds three and four, to take place at an undisclosed location in Europe, later confirmed to be Scotland.
On 6 September 2024, a week before the scheduled Island X-Prix, Extreme E announced the cancellation of the remaining rounds in Sardinia and Phoenix, with Alejandro Agag said to be "reviewing alternative solutions" to complete the season.

| Valley X-Prix | Phoenix, United States | 23 November 2024 |

### Race format

Minor format tweaks were made to accommodate the reduced number of cars. Each qualifying heat will now consist of four cars, with 10, 8, 6 and 4 intermediate points being handed out. Combined qualifying results at the end of both segments will now see the top four cars qualify for the grand final instead of the top five. Accordingly, the bottom four qualifiers will slot in the "redemption race" to decide positions fifth to eighth. One change was made to the points system, as the winner of the redemption race will now score 12 points, as many as the fourth-placed car in the grand final.

## Teams and drivers

The impending switch to hydrogen saw the grid shrink from ten to eight cars for 2024. Abt Cupra, Chip Ganassi Racing and Lewis Hamilton's X44 team all left the series, as did Carl Cox Motorsport, who outlined intentions to return for Extreme H in 2025. There were two new entrants: Jimmie Johnson-led NASCAR team Legacy Motor Club and Swiss-owned outfit SUN Minimeal, run by former Carl Cox driver Timo Scheider. All teams used one of the identical Odyssey 21 electric SUVs manufactured by Spark Racing Technology and consisted of a male and a female driver, who shared a car and had equal driving duties.
