Frequently Asked Questions

When did Formula E first race?

The first Formula E race took place on September 13, 2014, in Beijing, China. The championship was created by Alejandro Agag and supported by FIA President Jean Todt as a platform to promote electric vehicle technology through motorsport.

How does Attack Mode work in Formula E?

Attack Mode was introduced in Season 5 (2018-19) and gives drivers an extra 50kW of power for a set period. To activate it, drivers must drive through a designated off-racing-line activation zone, creating a strategic trade-off between gaining extra power and losing time by taking a slower line through the circuit.

Which manufacturers compete in Formula E?

Formula E has attracted major automotive manufacturers including Porsche, Jaguar, Nissan, Maserati, Mahindra, and DS Automobiles. The series serves as a development platform for electric vehicle technology that manufacturers can apply to their road car programs.
