Amongst the glitz and glamour that the Principality has to offer, and ahead of this weekend’s Monaco E-Prix, all attention turned to the latest model of car that will be used for the next two years, starting from next season. At first glance, the Gen3 Evo looks almost entirely the same as its predecessor but,

The new specification of car was unveiled on Thursday evening ahead of this weekend’s Monaco E-Prix, where it will also demonstrated in public for the first time on Saturday by ex-Formula 1 driver David Coulthard. The all-electric championship’s latest challenger is an upgrade on the current Gen3 car which has been used for the last

Da Costa claimed his first win of the season on Formula E’s inaugural visit to the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli last weekend. The Portuguese driver scored his first victory since the Cape Town E-Prix last season having passed Nissan’s Oliver Rowland three laps from the end of a chaotic race which included 19 changes

Generally speaking, DS Penske cars love new circuits. With the exception of Tokyo last March, tracks still untouched by electric single-seater racing have often smiled on the Franco-American team. This weekend could have produced even more points, but it’s important to underline the good pace set by the two DS E-TENSE FE23s throughout the weekend.

The Briton looked on course for a double Formula E success of the weekend in the second race at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli having taken the lead with five laps remaining. Once in front, Rowland began to pull away from the chasing pack with only eventual winner Pascal Wehrlein able to keep in

Wehrlein led the 26-lap race until five laps from home as Rowland dived to the inside of Turn 5 to move into first. The Nissan driver, who had inherited Saturday’s Misano E-Prix victory after on-the-road winner Antonio Felix da Costa was disqualified for a technical infringement, noticeably upped his pace and headed Wehrlein by 1.4s

After a difficult race in Japan, the DS Penske team was back on track for the first round of the 2024 season in Europe. Misano is a permanent circuit and, for once, the track is not lined with walls. However, the electric single-seaters must not make too much of a gap, because on the other

The McLaren driver had been on impressive form throughout the entirety of qualifying and come the final duel looked likely to claim only his third career Formula E pole. Hughes was nearly two tenths faster than Vergne in the opening sector, and although the DS Penske driver was fractionally quicker in the middle of the

Da Costa had taken his first win of the season during the inaugural Misano E-Prix, but post race checks mean the Portuguese has been disqualified from the race result. An FIA statement read: “At post-race scrutineering the Throttle Damper Spring mounted in car 13 during the race was not found in conformity with one of

The Briton has endured a difficult 2024 campaign so far as ERT has struggled for energy efficiency against rival teams, with Ticktum expecting more of the same on Formula E’s first visit to the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli this weekend. But the chaotic nature of the Misano E-Prix, with multiple changes of position every

The Porsche driver hit the front three laps from home in the 28-lap race after passing Rowland into Turn 5 – a move that proved pivotal as he took his first win since Cape Town last season by less than half a second. The first-ever Formula E race at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli

The all-electric championship will stage a double-header at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, a venue which is predominantly used for bike racing. It means there are a number of large run-off areas on the exit of corners that make policing track limits difficult for car racing. To deter drivers from running too wide and

For several years, Formula E races have been held on the streets of Rome (the EUR district), but this season they are moving to the Misano circuit on the Adriatic coast. As the track is permanent, the teams already have information about the location, and some of the drivers have already driven there. But for

The concept, where drivers would pit during a race for approximately 30 seconds and receive a charge of power, was initially suggested for the start of the Gen3 era last year. But it was pushed back a year due to the introduction of the new machines which put a strain on available parts and the

The long-expected confirmation comes only weeks after it was revealed ahead of the Tokyo E-Prix that Lola Cars would be returning to motorsport after more than a decade away, while Yamaha would be venturing into four-wheel racing again for the first time since 1997. Ahead of this weekend’s Misano E-Prix, Abt has confirmed it will

The trio of changes come as the event in Germany on 11-12 May clashes with the World Endurance Championship’s Six Hours of Spa, with Envision drivers Sebastien Buemi and Robin Frijns, as well as Mahindra’s Nyck de Vries, set to prioritise the Belgium event. A vote previously put to Formula E teams in Sao Paulo

It is evident that artificial intelligence (AI) holds transformative potential across various domains, a fact often misconceived by many. Contrary to popular belief, mere automation does not equate to AI. True AI involves software that learns, improves, and autonomously makes decisions. Currently, in the realm of Formula E, the use of AI beyond social media

Campbell has been nominated for the rookie-only practice session ahead of the Misano E-Prix on 12 April on the back of an impressive start to his 2024 campaign. The Australian kicked off the new year with a victory in Porsche Penske Motorsport’s 963 LMDh in the IMSA SportsCar Championship’s blue-riband Daytona round, before following that

Motorsport fans of a certain age will need no reminder about how both Lola and Yamaha endured generally torrid Formula 1 campaigns 27 years ago, the last for each in the category. The former botched its attempt to make the grade after both of its drivers comprehensively failed to qualify for the opening round of

Swiss engineer Peter Wyss de Araujo has sampled virtually every motorsport discipline from hillclimbing to Formula 1, taking in a successful decade of touring cars and a spell in Formula E along the way. But he’s never stopped learning, and that mantra remains today in his current position race engineering an ORECA-Gibson 07 in the

Although the weather conditions were very difficult on the eve of the race, the first Tokyo E-Prix was a success from an organisational point of view. The consequence of the heavy rain that fell until lunchtime on Friday simply encouraged the drivers to be cautious during the first practice sessions, on a track that was

The Mahindra driver had his best race of the season during Formula E’s inaugural visit to Japan this weekend after qualifying an impressive third. Having taken second off the line from eventual race winner Maximilian Guenther, Mortara gradually slipped back in the pack but still crossed the line in sixth to register his and the

The Portuguese driver was running third in the final laps of Formula E’s maiden race in Japan, having climbed from eighth on the grid and challenged long-time leader Rowland for second. Da Costa launched to the outside line approaching Turn 15 as Rowland defended, with the former attempting to complete the pass around the outside

The Briton started Formula E’s first-ever race in Japan from pole and he controlled the pace at the front of the field for much of the 35-lap contest. But the Nissan driver found that he could not save as much energy as those behind in the slipstream, admitting that he was only just able to

The German took the lead of the race with 10 laps remaining, having circulated inside the top three throughout and built enough of a lead to retain the top position after taking his final Attack Mode. Having managed the pace at the head of the field, Guenther came under attack from Rowland on the final

The Jaguar driver, who is set to make his 100th Formula E start later today as will the British manufacturer, moved to the top of the times with his final effort – a 1m19.339s. A red flag was deployed after just eight minutes of running in Saturday morning’s second practice session when debris was left

The Briton claimed his first win in the all-electric championship for more than two years in the Sao Paulo E-Prix with a last-lap overtake for the lead, which also marked McLaren’s maiden victory in Formula E. But ahead of the first Formula E race in Japan, Bird was quick to dismiss that he and McLaren

Jean-Éric Vergne and Stoffel Vandoorne will find themselves in a situation that smiled on them three times last season, racing on a circuit on which no one has ever driven. In addition to being an individual sport, which requires the two team-mates to work together to improve the energy efficiency of their cars, Formula E

The all-electric championship will make its first appearance in Japan this weekend at a 20-turn, 1.606-mile circuit located in Tokyo’s Big Sight area by the docks. The street circuit is noticeably twisty and technical, with little in the way of straights unlike the previous round in Sao Paulo, which featured ample opportunity for overtakes. As

The Japanese manufacturer made the commitment ahead of its home race with the inaugural Tokyo E-Prix taking place this weekend. Nissan has been involved in the all-electric championship since 2018, having taken over the Renault e.Dams entry after working in collaboration with the team. Since becoming a full factory entry, Nissan has had moderate success,
