DORSET this weekend plays host to the final race of the all-electric Extreme E’s first season at Bovington Camp.

The Jurassic X Prix begins tomorrow evening with the shakedown, before qualifying on Saturday and racing on Sunday.

Former F1 world champion Nico Rosberg’s RXR team tops the standings on 129 points, ahead of Lewis Hamilton’s X44 on 113 points. Both teams could take the title this weekend.

Just behind the top two and in close contention are Andretti United Extreme E (93 points) and Jenson Button’s JBXE (92) as they fight to round out the top three spots.

A mixed surface of clay, sand, gravel, and mud dominates the course in Dorset making grip, or the lack of it, a key feature for the first time this season. The likelihood of rain only adds to that challenge.

The Dorset course, which bypasses the Tank Museum, includes a fast downhill start before the wide-open space soon becomes a bottleneck and narrows down to single-car width along the tree-lined course, bringing the drivers towards the course’s most striking feature – the 5.4-metre-high 23-degree ‘knife edge’ slope.

Alejandro Agag, Founder and CEO of Extreme E, said: “Our Dorset race is shaping up to be a thrilling finale and I can’t wait to see the teams battling it out on the course for victory at the concluding race of our first season.

“There has been some epic action on some exciting courses, and the route for Dorset will be no different. With a high chance of rain expected, the drivers are going to face the new challenge of a wet and muddy course, which could really spice things up in the championship battle.

“More importantly, though, throughout our first year we have raised awareness of the climate crisis facing us all.

“Our presence in Dorset demonstrates that environmental issues are close to home, and we will be sure to leave a positive impact on the Jurassic coast.”

The off-road electric series is racing in Dorset to raise awareness of biodiversity loss by supporting the National Trust for this round’s Legacy Programme.

It comes after the Argentinian leg of the championship was cancelled.

No spectators are permitted to watch as the sport keeps a low carbon footprint.
