Formula E is full of excitement following the launch of its new Gen4 car, but half a season remains before the Gen3 era officially ends.
Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds emphasizes the new Gen4 race car’s arrival, outshining the current Gen3 Evo, with half a season left before its debut in competition at Circuit Paul Ricard last week.
The new Gen4 race car has garnered significant social media acclaim worldwide, building anticipation for its on-track debut next season as the fastest-accelerating FIA single-seater.
To manage the hype around Gen4 amid the ongoing season, Formula E plans to showcase the new car at select upcoming races while ensuring focus on the remaining 11 races of the current campaign.
Dodds acknowledges the attention shift to Gen4 but assures that measures are in place to balance both aspects and maintain excitement for the ongoing title battle.
The strategy includes featuring Gen4 in circuit demonstrations and static displays alongside the intense competition unfolding in the current Gen3 era.
While acknowledging the challenge of keeping fans engaged with the current season amidst the allure of Gen4, Dodds underscores the thrill and competitiveness of the present championship race, highlighting close contests among manufacturers and teams.
Dodds expresses the intent to integrate the narrative of the evolving series with the introduction of Gen4, aiming for a harmonious and engaging balance between the present and the future of Formula E.
