How to watch the Extreme E Ocean X Prix from anywhere
The inaugural season of Extreme E continues and this weekend teams and drivers will head to Senegal for the Ocean X Prix and we have all the details on how you can watch the race on TV or online.
Extreme E is the brainchild of Formula E founder Alejandro Agag and former driver Gil de Ferran who first came up with the idea of racing electric buggies in some of the world's most remote locations back in 2018.
The 2021 Extreme E season will see nine teams made up of two drivers from the UK, Germany, Spain and the U.S. participate in a series of races all over the world. However, unlike with other motorsports leagues, Extreme E's schedule is quite spread out with just one race each in April, May, August, October, and December.
The first Extreme E race, the Desert X Prix, was held in Saudi Arabia back in April and Nico Rosberg's Rosberg X Racing came in first followed by Andretti United Extreme E from the U.S. in second and the UK's Team X44 (owned by F1 champion Lewis Hamilton) in third.
This weekend's race, the Ocean X Prix, will be held on the shores of Lac Rose outside of Senegal's capital Dakar. Drivers will once again be racing on mostly sandy terrain as they make their way around the existing tracks surrounding a lake. There will be a slight change to the race format used in Saudi Arabia as the final will be a four-car battle with two teams from each of the two semi-finals participating in the Ocean X Prix Final.
Whether you've been following Extreme E since it was first announced in 2019 or just want to see how well the electric vehicles in the series perform off-road, we'll show you exactly how to watch the 2021 Ocean X Prix from anywhere in the world.
