Andretti Autosport and Chip Ganassi Racing are the first two American teams to commit to a new electric SUV off-road racing series scheduled to begin in 2021.

The Extreme E series has five events planned in what the league is calling “some of the most remarkable, remote and severely damaged locations on the planet.” The schedule calls for 6-miles courses in Kangerlussuaq in Greenland, the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, Al-Ula in Saudi Arabia, the Nepalese Himalayas and Lac Rose near Dakar, Senegal.

The two-lap races will include a driver and co-driver, with each required to complete one lap behind the wheel and a changeover incorporated into the race format. Andretti has fielded entries in Formula E since its inaugural season, and Extreme E is an offshoot of that first electric series.“As a leader, Chip Ganassi has never been afraid to innovate and adapt,” said Alejandro Agag, founder of both Formula E and Extreme E. “That is entirely in keeping with the ethos behind our ambitious and groundbreaking new series, which he was very quick to embrace.”

Ganassi said his organization is venturing into Extreme E because innovation indicates a new direction for motorsports in the future.
