Scientists specialising in environmental impact will travel alongside the race teams documenting what is found in each location and implement legacy plans. These include the Arctic, a coastal setting, the desert, a glacial location and the rain forest, in the countries mentioned. The race series is also designed to help create environmental awareness with each of the individual races taking place in remote locations. This new team will be the eighth taking place in the series that take place in Senegal, Saudi Arabia, Nepal, Greenland and Brazil. The name of this new team, X44, comes from Hamilton’s race number at Mercedes and refers to the four-wheel-drive off-road race cars involved. The team will make its debut at the start of the new race series that kicks off in January 2021. Hamilton will not be racing or taking part in the running of the team, but will put his experience of motorsport into into practice when he helps to guide this new dedicated and competitive team. That, combined with the bonus five points for setting the fastest time of the round through the designated super sector and the year-long qualifying prowess, left X44 with 155 points.Six-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton has founded his own off-road electric car race team called X44. Loeb belted aboard and emerged with a 4.4s margin to JBXE and converted the victory at the Bovington military base tank proving ground. Gutierrez ended her two-lap stint with 3.3s in hand over JBXE as she vacated the car for Loeb, and the spare-time orthodontist was only narrowly missed by a recovering Munnings.Īs the Andretti United car headed for its pit lane slot, Gutierrez leapt out the way, but Munnings still collected the X44 driver’s seat cushion and dragged it down the road.

Meanwhile, a lightening launch for JBXE’s Mikaela Ahlin-Kottulinsky meant the car owned by Jenson Button peeled from the far-right side of the grid to demote Andretti United for third.Īhlin-Kottulinsky then gave chase after Taylor, using the four-second hyperdrive activation to draw level with the Rosberg X racing machine and slot into second place over the ‘Knife Edge’ jump.Īs Gutierrez disappeared into a 6.4s lead for X44, RXR slipped back further as Catie Munnings relegated Taylor to leave Acciona Sainz’s Laia Sanz to take the title away from Rosberg’s crew. Gutierrez used her 400kW hyperdrive boost to power ahead at the start to decisively take the lead into the first corner as RXR's Molly Taylor endured a sluggish opening stint, knowing fourth spot was sufficient to take the title spoils. RXR were directly alongside, one lane to the left, as a new rule for the final round of the season mandated that the female driver must start the last race. The ‘GridPlay’ popular vote rewarded effective polesitter and semi-final one winner X44 with the choice of starting slot, and Loeb and Gutierrez opted for the middle lane. This came despite Cristina Gutierrez and Sebastien Loeb dominating the UK showdown. But having won the maiden Saudi Arabia event, then again in Senegal and in Sardinia, RXR took hold of the crown over X44, which failed to win all season despite a 100% qualifying record.
