Extreme E will remain in Sardinia for the seventh and eighth rounds of the 2023 season on September 16-17 after plans for an event in Argentina fell through late on, RACER can reveal.
The seventh and eighth rounds of the 2023 Extreme E season will be held in Sardinia on September 16-17, as plans for an event in Argentina fell through. Initially, the event was supposed to take place in the Amazon or the United States, but due to funding issues, it was moved to Argentina. However, complications with local elections led to a delay in securing funding, prompting the series to find a last-minute replacement. The series decided to stay in Sardinia, where the Pisano Barracks in Capo Teulada hosted the Island X Prix in July. The location offers a vast and open space, allowing for the creation of a new track. This will be the second time that Sardinia hosts two events in one season, and it marks the second time plans for an event in Argentina have fallen through. Despite this, the series still aims to have a race in the United States in the future.
