NXT Gen Cup explains dropped Formula E support plans
The single-make all-electric series using MINI Cooper SE road cars debuted in Sweden last year and was designed for drivers aged 15-25 of both genders. It was supposed to accompany Formula E at four rounds, starting with the Misano E-Prix, but Formula E announced that it wouldn’t be at the Italian round due to unforeseen constraints. Despite the setback, there is optimism that the series can launch fully next year after resolving the necessary issues. While the NXT Gen Cup would have been Formula E’s first regular support series since the Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy ended in 2020, the goal of having a support series remains important for the future. Having a support category provides fans with a more comprehensive event experience and serves as a pathway for drivers to hone their skills before moving on to higher-level series.
