Extreme H Bingo

What is Extreme H?

Extreme E was an international motorsport series that started in 2021 and ran for three and a half seasons.  The E stands for Electric.  Each team had two drivers, one male and one female, and all competed in Odyssey 21 electric SUVs. They raced in extreme environments – sand, ice, mud – around the world.

In 2025, Extreme E becomes FIA Extreme H World Cup.  The Extreme H car has the same chassis and powertrain as the Extreme E car but is be powered by a hydrogen fuel cell instead of a battery.  Following a successful launch of the Pioneer 25 car at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Extreme H calendar, entry list, drivers and locations were announced in the nick of time for the first event, the FIA Extreme H World Cup, to take place at Qiddiya City on 9th-11th October 2025!  The weekend before that, the Extreme E cars were given one last hurrah with Desert X-Prix The Final Lap in Saudi Arabia.

The new Extreme H Pioneer 25 car is an absolute beast of an off roader that is capable of 0-100kph in 4.5 seconds and can go up a 52 degree incline.

The purpose of Extreme E and now Extreme H is to highlight endangered remote environments and fight climate change by

1. Promoting greater environmental responsibility
2. Reducing the overall climate impact from sports
3. Using its platform to educate for climate action
4. Promoting sustainable and responsible consumption
5. Advocating for climate action through its communications

Extreme E’s own carbon footprint was kept low by drastically restricting the numbers of attendees at races (small teams, no spectators) and transporting all freight and infrastructure, including the vehicles, on the St Helena ship instead of by air (resulting in quite long gaps between races).  The St Helena also carried out scientific missions and Extreme E’s Legacy Programme supported environmental projects in each race location.  Fans could take part in the Extreme E Count Us In Challenge and pledge to take practical steps to reduce their own carbon footprint.

We have yet to see how Extreme H will build on these initiatives.

Extreme H Teams and Drivers

Extreme H features 8 teams.  Although only two of the teams (Carl Cox Motorsport and JBX) competed in Extreme E, almost all of the drivers have experience of the earlier formula

• Carl Cox Motorsport – Timo Scheider & Klara Andersson
• Hansen Motorsport – Andreas Bakkerud & Catie Munnings
• JBX –  Tommi Hallman & Christine GZ
• STARD – Amanda Sorensen & Patrick O’Donovan
• KMS (Kristoffersson Motorsport) – Johan Kristoffersson & Mikaela Åhlin-Kottulinsky
• EVEN (also run by KMS) – Ole Christian Veiby & Hedda Hosås
• ZEROID QEV Motorsport – Fraser McConnell & Gray Leadbetter
• Jameel Motorsport – Kevin Hansen & Molly Taylor (WINNERS of inaugural event)

Extreme H also has two Championship Drivers, Adrien Tambay and Claire Schönborn, who attend all races in an advisory and testing role, help finalise the course layouts and function as reserve drivers for all teams in case of anyone being unable to compete (which happened quite a lot in Extreme E due to injuries or diary clashes).  Sure enough, Claire Schönborn was needed before Extreme H even started, subbing in one of the Extreme E farewell events.

Extreme H Calendar

The Extreme E race calendar consisted of ten races arranged as 5 double headers each with two qualifying sessions plus the Grand Final for the top 4 teams and the Redemption Race for the bottom 4 teams.  Any ties on points were decided by which team was fastest in the Continental Traction Challenge (which won’t be returning for Extreme H as the tyre partner is now Yokohama Rubber).

So far just one Extreme H event has taken place. The FIA Extreme H World Cup was run at Qiddiya City, Saudi Arabia on 9th – 11th October 2025 and was described as “a winner-takes-all three day event where teams and drivers are challenged over three distinct disciplines, culminating in a blockbuster 8-car Final“. Basically, the 8 teams scored points over the three days which determined their grid position for the final.

• Day 1 (Thursday 9th October 2025) – Time Trial.  Essentially this was two rounds of single car timed flying laps, with a team’s combined times setting their ranking.  There were 2 extra points for the team that set the fastest Super Sector time.
• Day 2 (Friday 10th October 2025) Head-to-Head Duels.  Run on a different, shorter course with an extra technical chicane, these two car races began with sixteen heats cutting the field to four who then competed in semi finals and a final. This time, there were 2 extra points for the team with the fastest combined male and female driver times.
• Day 3 (Saturday 11th October 2025) Multi Car Racing.  Run on the same course as Time Trial but with two laps not one, the cars now raced four at a time across two rounds to score more points.
• Also Day 3 – FINALE.  For the very first time, all 8 Extreme cars lined up on the grid together, with grid positions determined by the points scored in the time trials, duels and multi car races.  The winning team Jameel Motorsport lofted the Extreme H World Cup.

Our verdict: This format has the potential to be hugely exciting, but with all 8 cars racing together and points already scored set back to zero, it’s surely going to be “win it or bin it”.  We’ve already seen some drivers bin it spectacularly during Extreme E, so expect more of the same this time round!

We eagerly await the announcement of the next event.  Will there be any format changes?

How To Play Extreme H Bingo

Extreme H Bingo can be played over one event or over the whole Extreme H World Cup Weekend, alone or with friends. The card you see on this page is just a sample – here’s how to generate your own unique cards.

1. Select your card size – if you don’t want the default 4×4 you can change to 3×3 or 5×5 using the dropdown menu in the Grid Size box (if you use 5×5, you’ll need to add some extra items get a set of cards that are different from each other).
2. Add any extra items you’d like to appear on your cards in the box where it says “Enter words/emojis”
3. Press “Generate Bingo Cards“
4. You’ll see an example, playable card (touch or click on an item to make the square change colour)
5. If you want printable cards, choose a number of cards to print (from the drop down or enter a number in the “custom number” box).  Then press “Generate Printable Cards” to produce a set of cards which will all be different from each other.
6. If you don’t have a printer you can invite your friends by entering their email addresses in the box and pressing Invite – you’ll each receive a link to a different card which can be printed or played online.
7. We recommend printed cards for Extreme H bingo, as you’ll probably be playing several sessions over the weekend.
8. Watch the races together – either in the same room or via a watch party – and daub the items off as they happen, online or on printed cards.  The winner is the first to daub them all, or the player who has daubed the most by the end of the weekend or season.
9. Enjoy!
