Formula E 101
Unlike its well-established older brother Formula 1, the Formula E racing league is just a baby. The concept for Formula E was conceived by Jean Todt, the President of Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) in 2011. Todt announced his intention to create an all-electric vehicle (EV) racing league while dining with friends in Paris, and Formula E was born! The inaugural race for the Formula E League took place in Beijing in 2014. Additional races were held in the cities of Buenos Aires, Long Beach, Moscow, and London. Nelson Piquet Jr. became the first ever Formula E champion, winning the title by a single point. All Formula E vehicles are single driver EVs. There are currently 11 racing teams with two drivers to a team in the league. The races are held on the streets of vari...

New Formula E Game Puts You in the Race – LIVE
At its inception, Formula E promised to deliver the future of motor racing. Yesterday, it came one step closer to delivering the future of watching motor racing, at least, with the launch of an all-new VR racing game that will allow players to compete with real FE drivers, in real time, from inside a digital “ghost car”. There’s a lot to unpack there, so let’s go over it again. Imagine there’s a race on at 1:00PM. At 12:55, you strap into your VR rig, and you’re there. You’re on the track, lined up against the Formula E grid. They roll off the line in real life, and you’re watching it in VR, from your car. You get a unique on-track perspective and, maybe, get to test your skills against some of the best drivers in the world. Once you wrap you...
Formula E “Hyperboost” Confirmed for 2018/19
Driving over special “turbo boosts” to gain speed is a familiar concept to anyone who’s played Excitebike or Mario Kart. But whether they’ve played those mages or not, it’s about to become a familiar concept to Formula E drivers, as well. That’s because the FIA has confirmed the use of “Hyperboost” zones for the upcoming 2018/19 FE season! The cars are all-new for this season, with a standard race setting fat 200 kW. Meanwhile, the “hyperboost” mode (it probably won’t be called that when it debuts, officially) will turn up the juice to 225 kW once a driver goes through an activation zone. That activation zone is expected to be somewhat off the preferred racing line, forcing the drivers to sacrifice some time now for a 2-4 mi...
