Serum Na concentration tended to fall from 143 to 140 mEq/L during the race (p = 0.06), and was inversely correlated with weight loss (p = 0.009). Body weight was unchanged over time (ANOVA, p = 0.52). Finishers ingested fluid at a greater rate than non-finishers (p = 0.01) and tended to meet their caloric needs more closely than did non-finishers (p = 0.09). Electrolyte intake during the first half of the race was similar between those that finished the race and those that did not. Sodium and fluid intake per hour was estimated to be 0.6 g/hour and 0.7 L/hour, respectively. Twenty-three runners completed at least 88 kms and, of these 23 runners, 13 finished 160 km in a mean time of 26.2 +/- 3.6 hours.įinishers ingested nearly 30,000 J, 19.4 +/- 8.1 L of fluid and 16.4 +/- 9.5 g of sodium (Na). Dietary intake and incidence of gastrointestinal distress or changes in mental status were determined by interview with runners approximately every 13 km. Blood was drawn pre-, mid- and post-race. We monitored intake and serum chemistries of 26 runners competing in an 160 km foot race in temperatures which peaked at 38 degrees C. To see racing of this calibre powered by hydrogen cells, which will allow for even more racing with less impact, is remarkable.To relate changes in laboratory indices to dietary intake during extremely prolonged running and to determine if dietary intake influences the ability of runners to finish an 160 km trail race.

JBXE team owner, F1 champ and one-time Extreme E driver Jensen Button said, 'for Extreme E to be evolving into Extreme H is incredibly exciting and a brilliant step forward in such a short space of time for the series. This would sit in line with a broader push we covered yesterday, with some automakers moving to position hydrogen combustion engines as a cleaner choice for rev-heads that love their roaring combustion motors and gearboxes. We imagine top-level race engineers probably find electric motors a bit boring and sterile to work with, fast and efficient though they are, and there aren't many race fans out there that wouldn't welcome a bit of engine noise back in to replace the slot-car whine of the battery cars. We also can't help but wonder whether this might eventually result in a switch to less efficient, marginally dirtier hydrogen combustion engines at some point. That means they'll get more race action to sell to broadcasters and sponsors.

The benefits for the race series are fairly evident hydrogen won't restrict the length of races as much as batteries do now, and teams will be able to fill up much quicker than they can currently charge up. Indeed, the Extreme E teams are already carrying green hydrogen and fuel cells around with them, as that's what they're using to charge up the cars between races. The chassis and electric powertrain will remain the same, and the batteries will be replaced by hydrogen tanks and fuel cells. Little will change about the cars themselves – at least, to begin with.

Two separate categories, full transition to hydrogen or joint racing are all options on the table.' Together with the current Extreme E Teams we will decide in the coming months the best way to integrate the hydrogen-powered cars into the racing weekend. It has become increasingly clear to us that creating a hydrogen racing series is a natural evolution of our mission to showcase the possibilities of new technologies in the race to fight climate issues.

The details remain under negotiation, but the timeline has been set for the beginning of the 2024 season.Īnnouncing the move before the first race of the 2022 season, Formula E chief Alejandro said, 'Extreme E was designed to be a testbed for innovation and solutions for mobility. Now, continuing the spirit of zero-emissions racing, the Extreme E cars will be joined, or perhaps even replaced, by Extreme H cars powered by green hydrogen. It's a single-make off-road race series, pitting all-electric Spark Odyssey cars against one another in a range of harsh remote environments, and it's an interesting experiment in gender equality as well – each team has to field both a male and a female driver, who share the driving equally, swapping between laps.

Formula E's dirty little brother, Extreme E, only had its first race in 2021, but it's already attracted drivers of the caliber of Jensen Button, Sebastian Loeb, Carlos Sainz and Nasser Al-Attiyah.
