Formula E is the world’s first fully-electric racing series, bringing electrifying street racing to some of the world’s leading cities such as London, New York, Paris and Rome.

Since making its global debut in the grounds of the Olympic Park in Beijing in 2014, Formula E has grown into a global entertainment brand with motorsport at its heart. Now, with 12 teams and 24 drivers on the grid, the Championship has become a destination for the world's best motorsport teams and talent.

Formula E is also a competitive platform to test and develop road-relevant technologies, acting as a catalyst for sustainable mobility solutions, helping refine the design and functionality of electric vehicle components and improving the driving experience for everyday road car users all over the world.
