Forze IX makes historic racing debut at TT Assen!

Over the weekend of August 8-10 at Jack’s Casino Racing Day, we passed a major milestone in the journey towards sustainable motorsport! Our latest hydrogen-powered race car, the Forze IX, made its debut in the Supercar Challenge, showcasing the potential of hydrogen in a class typically dominated by combustion-engine vehicles.

The Forze IX in action

Despite still being in the development stage, the Forze IX delivered a strong performance. It demonstrated that clean, hydrogen-powered racing is not just a vision for the future, it is already becoming a reality. This marks an important step forward for our team and sustainable energy in motorsport.

Thousands of visitors got to see the car in action , both on the track and in the paddock, where our team shared the progress, challenges, and the vision driving this project. It is a reminder that this project is not just about racing, it is also about inspiring others towards sustainable technology.

Reaching this milestone has required years of dedicated effort from our Forze student teams, with crucial support from our partners, former team members, and numerous others who have contributed along the way.

This debut is just the beginning, and we are excited to keep pushing forward — both on and off the track!
