This weekend, it’s not Formula One which takes centre stage - Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and Co enjoy an increasingly rare weekend off - but Formula E, the all-electric championship which this time out heads to New York City. But it has always needed to be more than just about the races for Formula E, which from 2023 when the latest technological advancements which will be implemented, earns the right to tag itself “the world’s first net zero carbon race car in the world’s first net zero carbon sport”. Because of the track characteristics you get really long straights, so it tends to give good race shows because it’s quite easy actually to overtake.” Whether that track characteristic works in his favour this time around could prove decisive in terms of the championship, but regardless of who triumphs, Formula E’s impact on motor racing in general and inclination to push technological boundaries show no signs of abating any time soon. The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship’s most extensive calendar to date continues in New York City this Saturday 16 July & Sunday 17 July live on Eurosport 1 with coverage from 18:00 BST.
