Formula E is the most intense racing series on the planet.
Building on six seasons of all-electric city street racing, the Championship boasts one of the best sporting calendars in the world, with 14 races in 12 of the world’s most famous cities, covering five continents. Now, with 12 teams and 24 drivers on the grid, Formula E has become a destination for the world’s best motorsport teams and talent.
History
Together the two developed the series as a way of demonstrating the potential of sustainable mobility to help create a better, cleaner world. Just three years later, Formula E made its global racing debut in the grounds of the Olympic Park in Beijing in 2014.
Formula E has grown into a global entertainment brand with motorsport at its heart. With a total of nine manufacturers on board – the likes of Jaguar, Nissan, BMW, Audi, DS and Mahindra – Formula E serves as a competitive platform for global car manufacturers and mobility providers to test and develop road-relevant technologies.
Cars and Technology
Formula E brings racing tech to the road. With twelve global car brands going head to head in the 2019/20 season, Formula E is more than just a racing series – it’s a battle for the future. The cars, powered by pure electricity, pave the way for the cars of tomorrow.
In 2018, the new Gen2 car made its global debut at the Geneva motor show. The Batmobile-esque all-electric racer has double the energy storage capacity of the Gen1 car, meaning it can cover the full race distance without the need for a mid-race car swap.
With 250kW of power, the Gen2 will accelerate from 0-100km/h in 2.8-seconds and go on to a top speed of 280km/h. Greater speeds, more action on track and with just one car per driver – the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Sustainability is in the DNA of Formula E
Formula E is the world’s first fully-electric street racing series, bringing the latest innovations in electric vehicle and alternative energy solutions to city centres. Alongside providing thrilling inner-city entertainment the series serves to further develop sustainable technology to help fight climate change by offering a solution to air pollution – the Electric Vehicle.
