Why did Trend choose Formula E?

add

Formula E embodies the future of motor racing and aligns with our focus on technological innovation. Positioned as the next evolution in single-seat, open-cockpit racing, Formula E combines high-speed excitement with a commitment to sustainability through electric racing. Competing in iconic cities worldwide, the series aims to educate and inspire about electric mobility, driving innovation and accelerating the global adoption of electric vehicles in the fight against climate change.

What is Formula E?

add

Formula E is an electric, open-wheel, single-seater World Championship with innovation and sustainability at its core. The series races in some of the world’s most iconic cities, aiming to educate, excite, and inspire about the electrification of racing and mobility in the highest class of competition for electrically powered cars.

What speed can FE cars achieve?

add

Formula E cars are the fastest regulated electric road-course racing cars in the world. Major changes made for the 2022–23 season in the development of the Gen3 car were delivered as software updates directly to the advanced operating system built into the car. The estimated top speed is 322 km/h (200 mph). The battery is also designed to handle "flash-charging" at rates of up to 600 kW, allowing pitstop recharging in the championship for the first time. The wheelbase has been reduced from 3100 mm to 2970 mm, and the weight reduced to 760 kg.

What car is used in Formula E?

add

The Gen3 Formula E car, unveiled at the 2022 Monaco ePrix, debuted in the ninth season (2022–23). It delivers 350 kW in qualifying and 300 kW in races, with regenerative braking on both front and rear axles allowing up to 600 kW of energy recovery, covering 40% of a race’s total energy.

With an estimated top speed of 322 km/h (200 mph), the car also features "ultra-fast charging" up to 600 kW for pitstop recharging, a first in the championship. The wheelbase has been shortened to 2970 mm, and the weight reduced to 760 kg.

The Gen3 Evo car, debuting in Season 11, will be the fastest accelerating FIA single-seater, hitting 0-60 mph in 1.82 seconds—30% faster than a current F1 car. The Gen4 car is planned for introduction in Season 13 (2026–27).

What is a typical race day format?

add

A typical Formula E race includes Free Practice 1, Free Practice 2, Qualifying, and the race itself. Each practice session lasts 30 minutes. Free Practice 1 usually occurs on Friday afternoon, with Free Practice 2 on Saturday morning. Drivers can use the full qualifying power output (350 kW) during these sessions. On doubleheader weekends, an additional practice session happens on Sunday morning.

Qualifying, or "quali," takes about an hour. Drivers are split into two groups based on their championship standings. Each group has a 10-minute session at 300 kW, and the top 4 from each group advance to the "duels," where they race head-to-head at 350 kW. The final duel winner starts in pole position, with other positions determined by their performance in the duels and group stages.

Races have a set lap distance, with extra laps added for every four laps under a safety car or full course yellow. Pit stops are rare, only needed for punctures or repairs, as the all-weather tires are designed to last the entire race.

What is Attack Mode and Attack Charge?

add

At the start of a Formula E race, cars don’t have enough battery power to complete the full course. Drivers must recharge their batteries through regenerative braking and Attack Mode to reach the finish line.

Introduced in Season 5, Attack Mode gives drivers a power boost but requires them to pass through an off-line Activation Zone, sacrificing track position. Timing the use of Attack Mode is a key part of race strategy.

Starting no earlier than Season 11, a new feature called “Attack Charge” will require drivers to make a mandatory 30-second pit stop, adding 4 kWh of energy and unlocking two enhanced Attack Mode boosts. Currently, cars are limited to a maximum power output of 300 kW (402 bhp) during the race, making strategy even more crucial.

How do the points work in Formula E?

add

Formula E follows a standard points system – awarding points to the top 10 finishers.

1st, 25 points

2nd, 18 points

3rd, 15 points 

4th, 12 points

5th, 10 points

6th, 8 points

7th, 6 points 

8th, 4 points

9th, 2 points

10th, 1 points
