The famous 24-hour race track has been selected for the 2025 Super Final scheduled for November 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new season of the unique sim racing community will see the introduction of an updated version of the all-electric eX ZERO prototype, including a new anti-lock braking system, slightly revised aerodynamics, different suspension and revised tyres. The changes are designed to make the car more predictable and consistent, further improving the racing experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The World eX race format remains unchanged following the successful introduction of a sprint and main race last season. The regular season consists of eight events from March to October, followed by the title-deciding Super Final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Super Final will be a points race for the first time in World eX history, while 3-2-1 points will be awarded for Qualifying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The removal of the former AM class means that in 2025 all competitors will be competing for overall glory. A handicap system might be introduced during the season to level the playing field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The venues for six of the nine eX Prixs will be selected by community members on a monthly basis, while the RCCO has added two iconic tracks to the schedule as pre-selected venues: Indy and the N\u00fcrburgring-Nordschleife.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All World eX events will continue to have a special theme, with the opening round on 4 March entitled \u201cBorn in the USA\u201d. Competitors will be able to choose between Laguna Seca, Portland and Watkins Glen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Racing For The Climate e.V. continues to plant a tree for every participant and event. In total, 110 trees have been planted last season, which will help to absorb more than one tonne of CO2 per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>World eX Season 8 schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Round 1: Born in the USA&nbsp;(Laguna Seca, Portland or Watkins Glen), March 4<br>Round 2: April 1<br>Round 3: May 6<br>Round 4: Indy eX Prix&nbsp;(Indy Oval) June 3<br>Round 5: Green Hell (N\u00fcrburgring-Nordschleife), July 1<br>Round 6: August 5<br>Round 7: September 2<br>Round 8: October 7&nbsp;<br>Round 9: Super Final (Daytona), November 4<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Season 8 of the RCCO World eX Championship will be decided at Daytona International Speedway. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":969,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world-ex"],"acf":[],"_wp_attached_file":null,"_wp_attachment_metadata":null,"_elementor_source_image_hash":null,"_wp_attachment_image_alt":null,"_elementor_is_screenshot":null,"elementor_font_files":null,"elementor_font_face":null,"_yoast_wpseo_title":null,"_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":null,"__elementor_forms_snapshot":null,"_wp_trash_meta_status":null,"_wp_trash_meta_time":null,"_wp_desired_post_slug":null,"_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":"12","_wp_old_date":null,"_oembed_47151242e000855220e5d4f5cf766260":null,"_oembed_time_47151242e000855220e5d4f5cf766260":null,"_":null,"_yoast_wpseo_focuskw":null,"_yoast_wpseo_linkdex":null,"_edit_last":"1","_edit_lock":"1738234518:1","_elementor_edit_mode":null,"_elementor_template_type":null,"_wp_page_template":null,"_elementor_page_settings":null,"_elementor_data":null,"_elementor_version":null,"_elementor_pro_version":null,"_elementor_css":null,"_elementor_conditions":null,"_elementor_page_assets":[],"_elementor_controls_usage":null,"_elementor_screenshot":null,"_wp_old_slug":null,"_elementor_template_sub_type":null,"_elementor_screenshot_failed":null,"_yoast_wpseo_estimated-reading-time-minutes":"2","_thumbnail_id":"969","_yoast_wpseo_content_score":"30","_yoast_wpseo_wordproof_timestamp":null,"car":null,"_car":null,"ready_player_me":null,"_ready_player_me":null,"since":null,"_since":null,"startnumber":null,"_startnumber":null,"linkedin":null,"_linkedin":null,"instagram":null,"_instagram":null,"full_name":null,"_full_name":null,"profession":null,"_profession":null,"hobbies":null,"_hobbies":null,"victories":null,"_victories":null,"trees":null,"_trees":null,"team":null,"_team":null,"youtube":"","_youtube":"field_65b1674782d3a","footnotes":null,"origin":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rccoworldex.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rccoworldex.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rccoworldex.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rccoworldex.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rccoworldex.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2395"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.rccoworldex.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2395\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2399,"href":"https:\/\/www.rccoworldex.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2395\/revisions\/2399"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rccoworldex.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/969"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rccoworldex.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rccoworldex.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rccoworldex.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
