VARIOUS OF HANSON AND TAYLOR RECEIVING TROPHIES AND CELEBRATING STORY: The inaugural FIA Extreme H World Cup reached its climax in Qiddiya City, Saudi Arabia, as Jameel Motorsport’s Kevin Hansen and Molly Taylor made history by winning the world’s first hydrogen-powered event on Saturday (October 11) After three days of intense racing — including time trials, head-to-head duels, and multi-car heats — all eight teams lined up for a four-lap final.  Jameel Motorsport started from pole and stormed into the lead on lap one, while contact between Carl Cox Motorsport and Team Hansen shook up the early order.  A smooth driver switch saw Taylor take over with a commanding five-second advantage, extending the gap to win by more than seven seconds.  Carl Cox Motorsport finished second, with Team EVEN completing the podium, while penalties reshuffled the order behind.  The result capped a historic weekend for hydrogen-powered racing, marking the start of a new era in sustainable motorsport.  (Production: Simon Ormiston)
