As we announced to you on Monday evening in the digital version from AUTO n°2232hebdo, also available now on newsstands, Extreme E will travel to Greenland in 2021 for the first season of the new championship promoted by Alejandro Agag’s troops.

The Russell Glacier, in the Kangerlussuag region, has been chosen to host the 21% electric Odyssey 100s, which will be fielded by the different teams entered in the series.

Alejandro Agag recently visited the area with Greenland's Minister of Industry, Energy and Research, Jess Svane. “Together with the Government of Greenland, we will create a sensational sporting spectacle with the most incredible natural backdrop, says Agag.

We will use this as a catalyst for positive awareness but also scientific research. »

This will be a great first for Greenland, which will host its first car race. The region has recently been in the news, with United States President Donald Trump's proposal to purchase the autonomous Danish territory.
