Remember how everyone hated the first few seasons of Formula E’s pit stops? There was no recharging or swapping batteries; they swapped whole cars, going from one depleted car to an identical, fully-charged one that looked like nothing had happened. Remember how Formula E developed a higher-capacity battery that could…Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com

Lewis Hamilton, who could become a six-time Formula One champion Sunday, has been talking a lot lately about how we all can and should do better for the environment.

When it comes to protecting your resale value, you can choose something in grayscale or maybe if you’re feeling risky you can get a variety of red. Nobody takes risks anymore. Either on the road, or on the Formula E grid. I guess the teams are concerned about getting some residual value out of their […]
The plague is upon us once again. The livery gods have decided to be cruel and update their gray-white-red livery scheme to black-white-red for Formula E’s sixth season. Seriously. Two-thirds of all the colors on Formula E cars this season are black, white, or red. Has the entire series forgotten that other colors…Read more… Continue […]
Mercedes is making its Formula E debut this year as the series launches into its sixth season, and the team is already making waves at pre-season testing in Valencia.

Wiring harnesses are one of the unsung heroes of motorsport. These complicated nests of wires basically make the cars function the way they do, so designing and producing one requires a high level of skill and a minimal threshold for error. Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com

When Formula E burst onto the racing scene at its first-ever race in 2014, people were skeptical that the series would actually survive. Electric cars weren’t quite in vogue yet, and people wondered who the hell would even be watching. Five years later, it turns out that a hell of a lot of people have […]
The new Formula E documentary, And We Go Green, made its world premiere on Sunday at the Toronto International Film Festival. I was lucky enough to be in attendance to see its release—and it might just be the best racing documentary I’ve ever seen.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
Audi have shown off their Formula E entry for the 6th season of the sport set to begin in November, and it has been given the clever name of FE06. The chassis are all built to the same spec, which is to say that Audi’s unveiling is limited to a new livery, but it’s a […]

Getting on board with a brand-new racing series, especially one marketed as “world class” from the very start, can be hard.

One of the perks of a racing series with entirely electric cars is that they barely make a sound, letting anyone around hear exactly what’s happening on track—including every bit contact, and there’s been a lot of that in Formula E this year. But the series apparently wants to cool it down, and may do […]
The relative merits of a driver’s ability to unlap himself by fighting for position with the leader of a race has been a pretty hotly debated subject this week after IndyCar’s race at Mid-Ohio. And I need to know what the fans think.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
