Formula E is very close to officially launching its new car for the next regulatory cycle—the Gen4.
Formula E is gearing up to launch its highly anticipated Gen4 car in just over a week, with details of the event recently being unveiled. The electric racing series is nearing the midpoint of its final season with the Gen3 car, before the Gen4 model takes over starting next season. The inaugural race of the Gen4 era is expected to kick off in December, based on current speculations and projections. Formula E provided a sneak peek of the Gen4 car last November through digital renders and videos, post pre-season trials in Valencia. Rigorous testing of the Gen4 model has been undertaken by the FIA and Spark Racing Technology, with input from ex-F1 test driver James Rossiter, who also had a stint as Maserati team principal in Formula E. Manufacturer trials have commenced as well, with the initial one occurring last November, as various teams across the grid prepare for the advent of Gen4. On April 21 and 22, a select group of media will get an exclusive firsthand look at the car during its official unveiling at Circuit Paul Ricard; the event is strictly by invitation only, barring the general public and uninvited press. RacingNews365 is slated to cover the launch. This new era of Formula E showcases the potential of advanced technology, boasting impressive power outputs and performance enhancements in comparison to its predecessors. With the introduction of the Gen4 car and upcoming changes, Formula E aims to bridge the gap with F1, possibly even surpassing the pinnacle of motorsport in the future.
