The fourth race of the electric series, Extreme E, is getting closer and closer. On October 24th and 25th, the Oddysey 21 will take the field on the island of Sardinia, the first European territory to host the competition. 

All the material to be used is already in Italy with the arrival of the ST. Helena, the vessel carrying vehicles, members and tools for the teams competing in the tournament, conceived by Spanish businessman, Alejandro Agag.

The choice to use the ship for transportation is not accidental. Navigation by sea, due to the efficient engines installed on the boat, considerably reduces the pollution produced in comparison with air travel. Motivation, therefore, is also the winning card of Extreme E, which has found a perfect combination between sport and environmental support, to raise public awareness of the effects of climate change and man-made pollution.

After the Arctic X Prix, a historic first motor racing event in Greenland, the ship sailed for Cagliari carrying the precious cargo, including the system containing solar panels and hydrogen cells to recharge the zero-emission cars, two batteries to power the paddock and what is needed to stage a race anywhere, including the Capo Teulada Army training area, where the X-Prix Island will take place.

The event is organized in partnership with the Automobile Club Italia, which once again relies on the proven World Rally Italia Sardinia team, and the support of the regional authorities embodied at the Tourism Department, allowing the island to once again play a leading role on the world motorsport scene.

The transformation of the St. Helena. St. Helena

The St. Helena, now sporting the Extreme colors and experiencing a second youth after a million-dollar restoration, was for a long time a mail boat. From 1990 to 2016, it served Royal Mail carrying passengers and goods on the world’s only route connecting remote St. Helena, a tropical volcanic island located at the southern equator and the center of the Atlantic Ocean with Cape Town.

Back in 2018, the former Royal Mail Ship was acquired by Extreme E, having a $1 million refurbishment, taking nearly two years at Liverpool shipyard, to transform it from an obsolete and outdated ship to an efficient and sustainable means of transportation.
