QIDDIYA CITY: Jameel Motorsport’s Kevin Hansen and Molly Taylor were on Sunday crowned champions of the first-ever FIA Extreme H World Cup.
The first hydrogen-powered motorsport competition sanctioned by the FIA, brought together eight international teams, all male-female driver pairings, for three days of racing featuring a new format which included Time Trials, Head-to-Head duels, and an eight-car final.
Racing against the backdrop of the Tuwaiq Mountains, the cars were powered entirely by hydrogen fuel cells, proving that zero-emission racing can deliver world-class performance.
After topping the standings through the early rounds, Hansen (SWE) and Taylor (AUS) dominated the final from pole position.
Hansen built a commanding lead in the opening laps before Taylor brought the car home for a decisive victory, finishing 7.068 seconds ahead of Carl Cox Motorsport, with Team EVEN completing the podium.
