KLEENSPEED and FIA Formula E
Formula E Championship The FIA is now in the concept and formulation stage regarding an electric vehicle formula series and called for interested parties to submit formal proposals regarding their planned involvement by 10.14.2011. The FIA call was quite broad and it is anticipated that many manufacturers, large racing promoters and factory teams have submitted plans of various scope. It is not settled at this point whether the FE series will be based on a Spec formula or encourage individual chassis and/or powertrain designs. The actual format of the races/competitions is also open.
KLEENSPEED offered our perspectives on the formula specification and the core concepts of a successful and engaging E-Racing Formula.
"The public is smart and demanding of fresh, relevant experiences, aligned with the values of a sustainable future. New technology is fascinating and the performance of electric race cars is electrifying. Speed, sound, passing and pit stops are the traditional interest points of motorsport which will continue. In addition, the performance characteristic of the electric race car with it's instantaneous torque and burst of speed out of a corner will capture the next generation of motorsports enthusiasts." Timothy Collins, KleenSpeed President
"All traditional ICE motorsports, including Formula 1, are now at the top of the Technological S Curve. EV racing will be the rebirth of motorsports."
