BE PART OF THE FORMULA E COMMUNITY

BMW , Nissan and DS Automobiles would join Formula E as official manufacturers for the —19 season, with Nissan replacing Renault, which had exited the championship to focus its resources on its Formula 1 team. Formula E raced in 20 cities, across five continents, seen 13 global manufactures commit to the series. After the first race in New York City, Jean-Eric Vergne won his second Formula E championship, becoming the first driver to win more than 1 championship title, and a back-to-back championship title. For the sixth season of Formula E, two more manufacturers joined the series: Mercedes-Benz and Porsche. The season's champion was António Félix da Costa who clinched his first title with two races left. DS Techeetah became team champions for the second time in a row. Starting with its seventh season, the Formula E Championship was granted FIA World Championship status, due to it having met the criteria of having four manufacturer competitors and races on three continents since the —16 season.

The season ended in August with 15 races. Nyck de Vries claimed his first world champion title after winning two races, while Mercedes-EQ won the teams' championship. Instead of removing usable energy from drivers under the safety car and FCY, there will be added time to the race. For every full minute the race is neutralized within the first 40 minutes, there is 45 seconds of added time. This can add up to a maximum of 10 minutes. Race power was also increased to kW and attack mode was increased to kW, matching the power from Fanboost. Season 8 also introduced a new qualifying format, featuring 2 groups, A and B, where the top 4 in each would progress to duels. Laps replace timed races, and for every safety car or FCY intervention, there are added laps to compensate for missed racing laps. Pit stops were originally also supposed to make a return to the series this season, in the form of Attack Charge , which was set to be trialed at select races, however the introduction of this race format was delayed to the season, after several issues with the new car's batteries came up before the season, which caused delays in the production of the fast chargers.

Originally also, in at least two races, each team would have to field a driver with no previous Formula E experience in the first practice session. However, after teams criticized this rule, the series then decided that instead as a compromise, they would hold two rookie test sessions, one being after the doubleheader Berlin E-Prix, and the other being before the doubleheader Rome E-Prix. In , the Virtually Live Ghost Racing app was launched. It allows fans to virtually drive alongside the real drivers as the race is going on. The first season of six races was held between January and March All Formula E teams participated in the series. During the first season, the FE School Series for student teams that developed their own electric car took place as support races at selected events. Roborace was developing the world's first autonomous and electrically powered racing car. However, just before the Jakarta E-Prix, Nicholls was fired after allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards women, and Ben Edwards , who had already done motorsport commentary for 3 decades, replaced him in the commentary booth from Jakarta E-prix until Portland E-prix.

Dario Franchitti also reduced his commitments to Formula E before the season started, and as a result, there has been a constant rotation of analysts throughout the season, with Karun Chandhok , Allan McNish , and Oliver Askew all having being in that analyst role in the commentary booth throughout the season. It highlights some of the innovations and challenges of Formula E and follows several drivers and rivalries throughout the season. Contents move to sidebar hide. Article Talk. Read Edit View history.

Archived from the original on 8 May We'll leave that for FIA - motorsport's governing body. Click here for a more detailed look at the rules and regulations. Formula E follows a standard points system, used in other FIA-sanctioned series - awarding points to the top finishers. The driver starting at the front, from Julius Baer Pole Position, picks-up an extra three points. During the race, the driver who completes the fastest lap also receives one additional point. If not, then the driver in the top with the next fastest lap takes the honour. Each event has two practice sessions - an opening minute session on a Friday, followed by a further minute session on Saturday. This is reduced to one minute session on the second day of a double-header. This is the first time the teams and drivers will take to the track under timed conditions as they get a feel for the track and adapt to the car set-up. Although the timer is on, it doesn't count towards the result.

After all, it's just a practice session.

Teams must field at least two rookie drivers in Free Practice 1 over the course of the season, to give up-and-coming talent a taste of top tier electric motorsport. The Group stage sees two groups of 11 drivers, ordered based on their Drivers' World Championship position, battling at kW to set lap times each in a minute session, with the fastest four from each progressing into the Duels stage and the Quarter-finals. The two winners from each group then compete against one another head to head in a knockout at kW over the last eight into the semi-finals. Then, the eventual quickest from each group face off in the Final Duel. The winning driver of the final duel takes Julius Baer Pole Position, while the runner-up lines up second. The Semi-finalists will line up third and fourth, the Quarter-finalists between fifth and eighth - according to their laptimes. The fifth to 12th-placed drivers who competed in the polesitter's group will fill the odd positions on the grid.

The corresponding drivers from the other group will be classified in the even grid slots. So, if the polesitter comes from Group 1, the fifth placed driver in Group 1 will line up ninth on the starting grid and the fifth placed driver in Group 2 takes 10th and so on. Races, or E-Prix, begin with a standing start, meaning the cars are stationary until the lights go green. The drivers line-up on a dummy grid - a short distance behind the actual grid - and slowly file into position to start the race. The E-Prix lasts for a predetermined number of laps. Laps can be added for Safety Car and Full Course Yellow interruptions, with the total laps to be added announced three laps prior to the end of the E-Prix. Drivers can choose to secure the extra speed if they want to race harder, giving them the edge to keep ahead of the competition or make moves up the pack. Most events take place over a single day in order to minimise disruption to the host city. Some events stretch to two days with double the amount of action - these are referred to as double-headers.

The schedules are mirrored from each day, with only one minute practice session on the second day. The bespoke inch treaded all-weather tyres used by all teams and drivers are supplied by Hankook - official tyre supplier of the FIA Formula E World Championship. Each driver can use no more than four new rear and four new front tyres for each event. For a double-header, drivers are given six front and rear tyres to use across the whole weekend. Charging the car is forbidden during both qualifying and the race, as well as throughout Parc Ferme and scrutineering. Teams can charge the cars in-between sessions and during practice. Just like a driving licence for the road - Formula E drivers must qualify to participate. Tickets Store What is Formula E. Register Log In.
