Bridgestone amongst tender winners for Formula E Gen4 car
Following a World Motor Sport Council meeting, it was announced that Bridgestone will be the sole tyre supplier for Formula E’s Gen4 cars, marking their return to world championship single-seater competition. Bridgestone lost the bid to supply tyres in Formula 1 but will now produce two different types of tyres for Formula E, including a grooved all-weather tyre and a mandatory tyre for heavy rain. Podium Advanced Technologies will provide the battery, Marelli will supply the front powertrain, and Spark Racing Technologies will continue to supply the chassis for the Gen4 machines. The Gen4 cars will have a significant increase in power, reaching 600kW, and will feature improved aerodynamics, increased width, and weight.
