The second race in Extreme E’s season 2 calendar known as the Island X Prix has been postponed until July 2022 as the site is now being used for “training purposes” due to current global events.

The race was supposed to take place on 7 to 8 May on a military base in the Capo Teulada region in south-west Sardinia.

So that Extreme E completes the five-race championship in 2022, the series ran a double-header event in Sardinia during the week commencing 4 July 2022.

Founder of Extreme E Alejandro Agag said: “Of course it’s a shame to postpone our event, but we are a global series which operates in full cooperation with our hosts and these circumstances were outside of any of our control.

The last two events of Season 2 will be in Chile and Uruguay on 24 to 25 September and 26 to 27 November.
