CATIE MUNNINGS & Team Hansen Ready for Historic Hydrogen Championship Debut

October 9, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • CATIE MUNNINGS enters the inaugural FIA Extreme H World Cup with Team Hansen, riding high after the Swedish squad claimed their maiden victory in the final-ever Extreme E round. The family-run team achieved back-to-back podiums on their debut weekend, giving Munnings and co-driver Andreas Bakkerud serious momentum heading into this historic hydrogen-powered championship.
  • The World Cup maintains Extreme E’s gender equality mandate, ensuring each team fields one male and one female driver with equal seat-time and data access. This format continues pushing the sport forward while proving that performance and sustainability can coexist at motorsport’s highest level – exactly what we need to see more of across all racing series.
  • Munnings will tackle three distinct racing formats over the Qiddiya weekend: time trials on the 3.21-kilometer course, head-to-head sprint duels over a dramatic 532-meter track, and multi-car heats leading to an eight-team final. The varied competition structure should showcase both driver skill and the Pioneer 25 hydrogen car’s capabilities across different racing scenarios.
