Summary

Formula E is set for a significant format overhaul in the Gen four era, starting in 2026-2027. The FIA is finalizing rules that combine high-performance races with energy-saving ones. Gen four cars, boasting over 800 horsepower, will race in a mix of speed-focused and energy-efficient events. The plan includes shorter races for full-throttle action and longer races for strategic energy management. Drivers will face tougher aerodynamics, encouraging smarter racing. Teams will use a token system for mid-season upgrades and have additional crew members for car complexity. The new regulations will be presented to the World Motor Sport Council on June 23rd for approval. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
