The FIA Formula E Championship is a racing series for formula cars with electric motors , which was launched on the initiative of Jean Todt and planned by promoter Alejandro Agag and his company Formula E Holdings on behalf of the FIA . It has been held on street circuits around the world since September 13, 2014 .

On January 9, 2018, it was announced that ABB would become the title sponsor of the series and that it will therefore be called the ABB FIA Formula E Championship with immediate effect .

From the 2020/21 season , the series will officially receive the FIA ​​World Championship title and will be held under the name ABB FIA Formula E World Championship .

vehicles

World premiere for the Spark-Renault SRT_01E at the IAA 2013 in Frankfurt

In the debut season 2014/15 , all teams competed with the same vehicle, the Spark-Renault SRT_01E . The vehicles built by Spark Racing Technology were powered by an electric motor which, like the electronics in the vehicles, came from McLaren Electronic Systems , a subsidiary of the McLaren Group , and produced a maximum of 200 kW (272 hp). The maximum speed of the vehicles was limited to 225 km / h.

The chassis were produced by Dallara . Renault was announced as the technical partner of the racing series , the batteries were provided by Williams Advanced Engineering , weighed 200 kg and provided a maximum energy of 28  kilowatt hours at up to 1000  volts .

The presentation of the Spark-Renault SRT_01E took place on September 10, 2013 as part of the IAA .

The operating costs of the vehicles were limited, in the 2014/2015 season the cars were made available to the teams in return for a portion of the sponsorship income. The chassis and aerodynamics of the vehicles were specified, only in the areas of batteries and engines were further developments planned.

However, the racing series should no longer be a standard series from the second season onwards, and other manufacturers were also able to homologate vehicles for participation in the championship . However, the manufacturers were forced to make their vehicles available to at least two other teams, so-called customer teams. The British company Bluebird announced early on that it was working on its own vehicle for Formula E, which Bluebird itself would use. However, a maximum of 16 vehicles should also be built for customer teams. However, a Bluebird vehicle was never used in the FIA ​​Formula E Championship.

In December 2014 it became known that several manufacturers were interested in entering Formula E, but that the development opportunities in the areas of aerodynamics and chassis should continue to be limited by the regulations.

In February 2015, the FIA ​​announced eight manufacturers that were allowed to carry out further development themselves from the 2015/16 season , but only on the drive components motor, inverter , gearbox and cooling system. From the 2016/17 season onwards , manufacturers should also be able to further develop the batteries. However, this was later discarded and standard batteries continue to be used instead. Each manufacturer had to provide each team with their own components for a fixed maximum price.

The total energy of the batteries should be increased in the coming seasons. For the 2016/17 season , the amount of energy was increased to 33 kilowatt hours. For the 2018/19 season , the amount of energy is to be increased to 54 kilowatt hours, which means that it will no longer be necessary to change vehicles halfway through the race. For the production of the batteries from the 2018/19 season, the FIA ​​launched a tender, which McLaren Applied Technologies (MAT), a subsidiary of the McLaren Technology Group , won. MAT is collaborating with Sony , which provides the cell technology, and Lucid Motors , which is responsible for the design and management software, to develop the battery .

The engine output in the race should also be increased, in the second season to 170 kW and from the third season to 200 kW. The increase in the maximum output to 250 kW originally planned for the third season and the increase in output in racing operations to 200 kW were postponed to the 2018/19 season at the beginning of 2016. Instead, the maximum power for recuperation has been increased from 100 to 150 kilowatts.

A new body kit was planned for the vehicles for the 2016/17 season . The changes, however, were limited to a new front wing, the look of which was more futuristic and should make the vehicle design stand out even further from other formula vehicles. Since the end plates were now attached to the vehicle nose with two struts, the wing was also more stable. In the first two Formula E seasons it happened several times that the vehicles lost the end plates of the front wing after being touched.

At the end of January 2018, the second generation of vehicles with the name Spark SRT_05e was presented.

tires

All the tires in the Formula E vehicles come from a single supplier , and Michelin has been won over as a supplier for the debut season . However, the tires are not slicks, but, in keeping with the sustainability concept of Formula E, profiled all-weather tires.

In contrast to Formula 1, low-profile tires are used in Formula E ; the wheels have a diameter of 18 inches. Each driver has five new front and rear tires per race day, with which they have to contest free practice, qualifying and the race.

In September 2015, the FIA ​​decided to extend the contract with standard tire supplier Michelin until the 2018/19 season. For the 2016/17 season, Michelin developed a new tire that reached the required tire temperature faster and offered more grip than the tires from the two previous seasons. The rolling resistance was reduced by 16 percent, and the entire set of tires was five kilograms lighter.

Power generation

Instead of green electricity , the organizers use glycerine- powered diesel generators to generate electricity.

Teams

Up to and including the 2017/18 season, ten teams were allowed to participate, with two drivers and four cars per team. The number of team members during a race day is strictly limited; the teams are only allowed to have two race engineers, one data engineer, four mechanics and one team manager. This number is controlled by the number of passes that are made available to each team for access to the paddock. The drivers and the staff who look after the engine are exempt from this.

In July 2013, a budget ceiling of initially 2.5 million euros per team was announced, which was later corrected to 3 million US dollars (around 2.2 million euros) and only applies to the operational business of the teams.

From the 2018/19 season, the starting field will be expanded to a maximum of twelve teams.

stretch

The races, which are based on the Formula 1 Grands Prix E-Prix (spelling until 2016/17: ePrix ) take place on street circuits in large cities; a route should be 2.5 to 3 kilometers long.

In September 2013, the FIA ​​published the provisional racing calendar for the 2014/2015 season, the final calendar with ten events was announced in December 2013. An expansion of the calendar by two races was planned for the following seasons.

The Berlin ePrix 2015 took place on the grounds of the former Berlin-Tempelhof Airport and was the first race that was not held on a street circuit. In 2016, the Mexico City ePrix 2016 was the first run of the racing series on a permanent race track (albeit with a modified route).

Course of a race day

Time schedule

The plans that were initially published provided for the following course of a race day:

  • Morning: Free practice (60 minutes)
  • Late morning: Qualifying, duration: 90 minutes, the field of drivers is divided into four groups of five vehicles each, which are on the track at the same time.
  • Evenings: The race should last a maximum of 60 minutes, with each driver doing at least one pit stop to switch to a charged car.

One month before the start of the debut season, a revised schedule was introduced:

  • 8:15 am - 9:00 am: 1st free practice
  • 10:30 am - 11:00 am: 2nd free practice
  • 12:00 pm - 12:10 pm: Qualifying (Group 1)
  • 12:15 - 12:25 p.m .: Qualifying (Group 2)
  • 12:30 pm - 12:40 pm: Qualifying (Group 3)
  • 12:45 pm - 12:55 pm: Qualifying (Group 4)
  • 3:40 p.m .: Announcement of the winners of the FanBoost voting
  • 4:00 p.m .: race
  • 4:55 pm - 5:00 pm: Award ceremony

For the third season, the first free practice was brought forward by 15 minutes. For the fifth season, the race length was changed to 45 minutes plus one lap.

Current course of the race day (2019/20 season):

  • 8:00 am - 8:45 am: 1st free practice
  • 10:30 am - 11:00 am: 2nd free practice
  • 12:00 pm - 12:06 pm: Qualifying (Group 1)
  • 12:10 - 12:16 p.m .: Qualifying (Group 2)
  • 12:20 - 12:26 p.m .: Qualifying (Group 3)
  • 12:30 pm - 12:36 pm: Qualifying (Group 4)
  • 12:45 pm - 1:00 pm: Qualifying (Superpole)
  • 4:03 - 4:50 p.m .: Race

training

In free practice and qualifying, the cars developed 200 kW (272 hp), in the race they should only develop 133 kW (181 hp). In August 2014 there was a change in the technical specifications, the power in racing operations was increased to 150 kW (204 PS). There should be a "push-to-pass" system in which every driver should have the opportunity to briefly increase the output to 200 kW (272 hp) during the race. A “push-to-pass” system for all drivers was then dispensed with.

The mode of free training was changed for the Long Beach ePrix 2015 , due to the charging time of the batteries, this took place in three units of 25 minutes each. However, this remained a one-time experiment, after which the racing series returned to the original sequence.

Qualifying

The qualifying was held in four different groups of five vehicles each, the assignment of the drivers to the groups was drawn by lot.

The qualifying format was revised for the second season. The drivers were drawn into four groups on race day at 10 a.m., but they now only had six instead of ten minutes to set a fast lap time. They were only allowed to drive two timed laps, the first with the “normal” output of 170 kW, the second in qualifying mode with 200 kW. The five fastest drivers then competed in an individual time trial called Superpole , where the first five starting positions were determined.

Shortly before the start of the 2017/18 season, a change to the qualifying format was announced, the drivers were now drawn into the four qualifying groups only at the first round of the season. In the subsequent races, the five best-placed drivers drove in one group, the second group consisted of the next five best-placed drivers. This procedure was then repeated for the remaining ten drivers. Only the order of the four qualifying groups was drawn.

The draw will be abolished for the 2018/19 season; instead, the drivers who are ahead in the overall standings will always start in the first group. At the start of the season, the order of the drivers' ranking from the previous season is used. The power during qualifying was increased to 250 kW.

Since the starting field has been expanded to a maximum of 12 teams, the number of drivers per group will change to six, and the fastest six drivers will now start in the Superpole .

run

It was planned not to do an introductory lap before the race. However, it was decided before the first race to carry out an introductory lap. The second race then took place as planned without an introductory lap, since the drivers at the Beijing ePrix 2014 had covered this very slowly to save energy. Instead, the starting grid was moved five rows back, and the drivers then moved to their actual starting positions immediately before the start of the race. This approach was criticized by many drivers after the race, also for safety reasons.

The drivers had to change their vehicle at any point during the race; there was a minimum time for this pit stop which, for safety reasons, could not be undercut. This minimum time has not been applied since the 2018 Santiago E-Prix .

This vehicle change will no longer be necessary with the introduction of the Spark SRT_05e at the beginning of the 2018/19 season. In addition, there is no fixed race distance, instead a race will always last 45 minutes plus one lap. In addition, there are two different energy modes: in normal mode the vehicles produce 200 kW, in attack mode the output increases to 225 kW. Every driver has to use both modes in the course of a race, to activate the attack mode he has to drive through a specially marked zone on the race track. The duration of the attack mode and the maximum number of activations are determined by the race management for a specific track prior to an E-Prix.

Scoring

The top ten drivers in each race receive points according to the following scheme:

Distribution of points
space 1 2 3 4th 5 6th 7th 8th 9 10
Points 25th 18th 15th 12 10 8th 6th 4th 2 1

In addition, there were three points for pole position and two points for the fastest lap in the debut season. The ten best results of all races in the championship were included in the drivers' standings, so there was a discarded result.

The rule that the worst result of a driver was not included in the driver standings was dropped for the second season.

For the fastest lap in the race, there was only one point instead of two from the third season. Since the 2017/18 season, this point has only been awarded to the ten best-placed drivers in the race.

In the 2018/19 and 2019/20 seasons , the races taking place in Europe will be combined in a special ranking , the voestalpine European Races . The awarding of points is not based on the normal points scheme of the series, instead only the podium results are evaluated here.

Others

As part of the supporting program for the 2016/17 season, demonstration drives of the Roborace racing series for autonomous electric vehicles took place for the first time . From the 2018/19 season, the Jaguar I-Pace eTROPHY will take place in the supporting program of the racing series.

Fan boost

The Fanboost (initially FanBoost , from the 2016/17 season mostly written by the FIA ​​as FANBOOST ) is a unique selling point of the FIA ​​Formula E Championship and gives spectators the opportunity to actively influence the racing.

It was initially intended to use a vote in social media in the week before a race to determine a total of five drivers who should be provided with the so-called fan boost , i.e. an additional “push-to-pass”, which, however, should not be included in the last laps of a race could be used.

A few months before the start of the first season, the fan boost system was revised, the output set at 180 kW (245 hp) and the duration of the increase in output set to 2.5 seconds. The number of drivers who receive a fan boost has been limited to three, and the period for voting has been extended. When a race starts, fans can vote on the fan boost for the next race; the voting ends on the day of the race, exactly one hour before the start of the race. The results will be announced 20 minutes before the race. Due to the increase in performance in racing operations announced in August 2014 and the resulting lower performance advantage of the Fanboost system, the duration of the performance increase was doubled to five seconds.

From July 1, 2014, fans could vote for exactly one driver for one driver via the official website of the FIA ​​Formula E Championship, but not, as initially announced, via the official Formula E pages on Facebook , Twitter and Sina Weibo submit the very first race. In addition, there should be a Formula E app from September 1, 2014, via which each fan can cast one vote for up to five different drivers, although this was only available a few days before the start of the season. Shortly before the start of the debut season, it was announced that the fan boost votes could also be cast on the websites of the broadcasting television stations, various sponsors and partners .

In the run-up to the Miami ePrix 2015 , the vote, which was repeatedly criticized as being non-transparent, was changed, since then the interim status can be seen at every point in the vote.

For the second season, the rules for the fan boost changed : The voting now only started 13 days before the next race. The fan boost was now awarded after the first six minutes of the race and could be used with the second vehicle. Instead of increasing the maximum power for five seconds, he now provided the pilots with 100 kilojoules of additional energy, which could be used for any period of time to increase the maximum power to up to 200 kW. In addition to the votes cast on the official website of the FIA ​​Formula E Championship, tweets or entries made on the social networks Twitter and Instagram were also counted, in which the hashtag #fanboost and the name of the driver were given.

After there were media reports in July 2016 about manipulation and vote buying at the Fanboost , the organizers considered restricting voting to social media only. However, these considerations were rejected shortly before the start of the season.

In February 2017, the fan boost voting was revised again. The period for voting has been shortened from 13 to six days before the race, and the possibility of voting via Instagram has been abolished.

From the 2018/19 season onwards, the vehicle's output increased to a minimum of 240 kW and a maximum of 250 kW when the fan boost was activated , and the number of drivers who received a fan boost was increased from three to five. The fan boost was only allowed to be activated after the 23rd minute of the race after the vehicle had not been changed. The fan boost voting also ended with the start of the race.
