The 2022 Island X-Prix (formally the 2022 Neom Island X-Prix) was a pair of Extreme E off-road races that was held on 6, 7, 9 and 10 July 2022 at Capo Teulada, in the Sulcis-Iglesiente region of the Italian island of Sardinia. It marked the second and third rounds of the electric off-road racing car series' second season, as well as the second running of the event. Though initially scheduled to host only the second round in May, it was later turned into a double header and postponed to July when the third round, originally planned to take place in Scotland or Senegal, was cancelled due to financial issues.[1] As such, the two events were treated as separate competitions and distinguished in official documents as the "Island X-Prix I" and "Island X-Prix II".
