As my Recent comment by my friend. Wanna know about Formula E.
So here I am. Fasten your seatbelts. And lets Gooo..
ABB Formula E Is an single seater all electric racing series/Championship. There are 2 car and 2 driver from each team Racing on the City Streets From all over the globe Blocked and made tracks for the race. These cars are driven by fully electric powertrain.
Some of the worlds biggest car manufacture compete in the races.
Now to the interesting parts of FE.
Currently there are 12 teams and 24 drivers. Race each other on the small tracks/ circuit's.
- Unlike as formula 1, ever car in FE has a baseline power of 200kw/ 270 Hp. Not much I know But they go 0-60mph/ almost 100kmp In 2.8sec. (That's fast) WIth a top speed of 174mph/280 kmph.
- Formula e cars has a limited battery capacity, and the drivers have to manage it ansd finish the race.(Before they used to swap cars, where the driver has to pit and jump in to the similar car but not any more)
- The teams have to always keep an eye out for the battery level. If they Run out of the power they are done for the race. The team have to manage the usage of the battery.
- Race format: the race goes like 45min+one lap. And first to cross the finish wins.
- Power boost: Like as our video games we used to have boost pad, Yes we have such thing in formula E. It is called attack mode. There will be an activation zone Which will be off of the racing like, so that might lead to lose some time and might places to. But the attack mode give the driver who goes on the activation zone gets like Extra 25kw which is 30 more Hp. And the driver car use the boost when ever he wants.
- How many activation zone, how long they last are different at every track and these aere not announced by the officials until 1hour before the race. Its make the team to make their strategies In limited amount of time.
- Another way of getting power boost is called Fan Boost. Fans vote for their favorite driver online. The voting starts 6 days before race and ends 5 after the race starts. So the driver will not even know that he is going to get that boost until the middle of the race. The fan boost give the to 5 voted driver like 40-50kw power for 5 seconds, which is like 50-65 more hp.(that's a lot).
- And the spectators will also know weather the driver is using boost or not as the led light glows if he is using the power/boost on the car safety halo. The light glows blue if he is using attack mode, if the lights glows magenta That indicate he is using Fan boost.
- Driver And skills matter: as I previously said ever cars are identical to each other. so it makes the best one takes the win. As there are price caps on power train and chassis components. which makes the manufacture to not outspend on the car to make it faster.
- More over takes, Lots of action, interesting races, unpredictable winners. as every car are almost same and the track is narrow, battery management, fan boosts, attack mode, all of their courses/ tracks are Street courses/ street turned into tracks.
- And also Fans/ spectators are allowed in pit lane and have a walk around the track before race starts. Which no motorsport event does that.
That's it for today let me know if I missed something. and also let me know if this was helpful or interesting for you in the comment. and if you want me to write on any other topic related motor sport ill do that.
