Motor racing continues to enthrall and impress across all disciplines with many championships growing hugely in stature and audience over the past couple of years, and Formula E is no exception.
The FIA’s all-electric championship sees drivers take their no-emissions cars into street races across the globe, pushing the boundaries of new technologies as they seek to surge to victory.
At the same time, FE aims to further highlight the necessity, and the ability, of cities and organisations to affect global change in terms of sustainability, social improvement and of course electric mobility.
Formula E takes place across North, Central and South America, Asia and Europe, with 22 drivers and 11 teams looking to win the championship, with Nyck de Vries triumphing last year for Mercedes-EQ.
Here’s everything you need to know.
