Since making its global debut in the grounds of the Olympic Park in Beijing in 2014, Formula E has developed into the fastest growing motorsport series on the planet and grown into a global entertainment brand with motorsport at its heart. As from the start of the 2020/21 season, Formula E gained World Championship status to become the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. With 12 teams and 24 drivers on the grid, the Championship has become a destination for the world's best motorsport teams and racing talent as they continue their battle on the streets to advance the adoption of sustainable mobility in the race for a better, cleaner future.

 

Bringing racing rivalries to city streets, set against some of the most iconic skylines in the world – such as New York, Hong Kong, Paris and Rome – Formula E serves as a competitive platform for global car manufacturers and mobility providers to test and develop road-relevant technologies. By racing on the streets, the series acts as a catalyst, helping to refine the design of electric vehicles and improve the driving experience for everyday road car users all over the world.

​

2018/2019 marks a new era of Formula E, seeing the radical Gen2 car making its debut on the city streets for the very first time. An increase in battery capacity also put an end to pitstops, with technological advancements now meaning one car could fulfil the new format of 45 minutes plus one lap at racing speeds.

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.

 

Bringing a new tactical element to the races, Formula E reinvented racing again with ATTACK MODE. A challenge for the teams and drivers; leave the racing line to fire up ATTACK MODE but be rewarded with a timed power boost and gain an edge for a few laps.
