Formula E

 

The ABB FIA Formula E Championship is the electric street racing series and the world’s first fully-electric international single-seater category in motorsport. Formula E brings electrifying wheel-to-wheel action to some of the world’s leading cities, racing against the backdrop of iconic skylines such as New York, Hong Kong, Paris and Rome.

The fifth edition of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship will see 11 teams and 22 drivers compete in 12 cities spanning five continents in the fight to be crowned champion. Riyadh, Saudia Arabia, hosts the season-opener on 5th December with the championship coming to a close in July.
