The 2021 Extreme E Championship is the inaugural season of the Extreme E electric off-road racing series. It started on 3 April with the Desert X-Prix in Saudi Arabia.[1]
A provisional race schedule was announced on 17 December 2019, which would have seen a season start in January 2021 with an event in Senegal.[2] But because of delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic the start of the season was pushed back to spring 2021, and a race in Ushuaia, Argentina was presented to replace a Nepal-based event.[3]

Race format
A race weekend consists of two rounds of qualifying time trials on Saturday, followed by multi-car races on Sunday. At the Desert X Prix all races were intended for three cars: a semi-final from which two teams advanced to the final, a "crazy race" from which only one team advanced and a shoot-out for the bottom three places, culminating in a three-car final.[4] The format was tweaked for round two in Senegal, where two teams each from two semi-finals advance to the final which is competed by four teams. Additionally, a "super sector" is introduced, where five extra points are awarded to the fastest team through that sector over the whole weekend.[5]
