Extreme E, the all-electric SUV racing series announced on Friday that due to current world events they have made changes to their 2022 season calendar with a double-header event in Sardinia in June replacing the Island X Prix owing to the location being used for military training exercises.

The Island X Prix was scheduled to take place 7-8 May on an Italian military base in the Capo Teulada region in South-West Sardinia, however due to the current global events, the site is now required for training purposes.
