#feinsider #nissanproud #nissanemployee #KeyMoments From Formula E History *How Formula E was founded The idea for an all-electric street racing series started out as nothing more than a collection of notes on a napkin. The story goes that former FIA President Jean Todt and Formula E Founder Alejandro Agag met on the evening of March 3, 2011, where they wrote down a few words on what would eventually become the world's first all-electric international single-seater championship. Formula E wanted to race through the streets of the most iconic cities in the world - with a grid full of the best racing drivers and teams around - to show just what sustainable mobility was capable of. As well as great racing, driving electric vehicles helped on the path to a better and cleaner future. In just three years, Formula E made it from concept to reality - through prototypes, innovative EV technology for the race track and on to GEN1. It was time we went green.

Having worked with NASCAR and clients related to Formula 1 race car design, I've come to appreciate the excitement, speed, and yes, even the noise of professional auto racing. If you've ever been on pit road during a race at #Daytona, you know what I'm talking about. That's why I'm genuinely anticipating the rise of Formula E. While it may take time for high-performance E racing to gain widespread acceptance and viewership, it's worth the wait for both sustainability and diversification. It's a natural progression of the amazing science and technology that already drive racing, and it's where we need to go from an environmental perspective. #FormulaE #AutoRacing #Sustainability #Innovation

Formula E News 🏎️ Formula E has undergone a remarkable evolution from the GEN1 to the current GEN3 car, each iteration representing a significant step forward in electric racing technology. The journey began in 2014 with the GEN1 car, a groundbreaking vehicle that marked the introduction of the first all-electric open-wheel car in motorsport history. The transition from GEN1 to GEN2, which took place in Season 5, was a game-changer for Formula E. One of the most notable advancements was the elimination of mid-race car swaps, made possible by a significant increase in power and nearly double the usable energy capacity compared to the GEN1. Despite keeping its battery size and weight unchanged, the GEN2 car saw a surge in power from 150kW to 200kW, reaching 250kW with ATTACK MODE and qualifying mode. These enhancements resulted in a quicker 0-100km/h sprint time of just 2.8 seconds and a boosted top speed of 280km/h, showcasing the rapid progress of electric racing technology. The latest milestone in Formula E's journey is the introduction of the GEN3 car in Season 9, unveiled at the 2022 Monaco E-Prix. The GEN3 represents the pinnacle of innovation in electric racing, with its design inspired by fighter jets. Every aspect of the GEN3 has been meticulously redesigned to push the limits of electric race cars even further. The GEN3 is lighter, smaller, and faster than its predecessors, embodying Formula E's commitment to advancing sustainable racing technologies. Overall, the evolution from GEN1 to GEN3 in Formula E has not only transformed the sport but has also played a significant role in driving the development of electric vehicles on a global scale. #FEInsider #Nissanproud #Nissanemployee #FormulaE
