After a successful pre-season testing, FIA WMSC-approved updates to the Season 8 sporting regulations include:
Alberto Longo, Chief Championship Officer and Co-Founder, Formula E, said:
“The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship 2021/22 calendar is our most extensive to date and we look forward to working alongside all our host cities to deliver 16 world class races. The Season 8 lineup of drivers is arguably the strongest we’ve seen, and the revised sporting regulations will provide a renewed and strengthened sporting platform.”
Frédéric Bertrand, Formula E & Innovative Sport Activities Department Director, FIA, said:
“The race and qualifying simulations successfully corroborated the new formats and set the scene for a particularly thrilling eighth season of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. In consultation with the teams, we simply made a few minor tweaks to facilitate the process. We are really looking forward to the first race of the season in Saudi Arabia, and hope fans are just as excited as we are about the spectacular action to come.”
