Each race will consist of a Friday shakedown and two days of racing action. Qualifying will see four teams progress to the final on the second day, with a speed boost handed to the team that performs the longest first jump of each race in their souped-up, electric, off-road monsters.
Jenson Button, Carlos Sainz Snr and W Series Champion Jamie Chadwick are among the big names in the driving seats, with 4K drones following their every twist and turn to provide coverage of the race.
Right now, we're all in the dark as to how this will play out, but it will be fascinating to watch across the five-race season that will traverse extreme landscapes around the world: Desert, Ocean, Arctic, Amazon, Glacier.
