The Race understands that the NXT Gen Cup – the one-make, Mini-based electric junior series – will no longer support Formula E at four of its European plans as planned for financial reasons
The NXT Gen Cup series, set to support Formula E at four rounds, starting at Misano this weekend, has been cancelled from the FE undercard due to financial reasons. Plans for the electric touring car series to race with Formula E at Misano, Berlin, Monaco, and London were unveiled earlier this year, but a deal fell through between Formula E and the Swedish organiser, Fredrik Lestrup. Formula E is now scrambling to reshape its paddock and plan additional activities for the coming weekend without the NXT Gen Cup cars. The cancellation of NXT Gen’s participation in European events has been confirmed, with hopes that other events, such as those supporting the DTM, may still proceed. Despite this setback, Formula E remains committed to nurturing young talent through initiatives like FIA Girls on Track.
