A new FIA Formula E support series, the NXT Gen Cup, has had its inaugural 2024 season scrapped, just days
The NXT Gen Cup, a support category for male and female drivers aged 15-25 featuring electric Mini Coopers, was set to debut in Italy this weekend and continue at other European events on the Season 10 Formula E calendar. However, the organization announced on Monday that they are parting ways with the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship for the 2024 season due to unexpected constraints in preparing the junior series for joint race weekends with Formula E. Despite the disappointment, founder Fredrik Lestrup expressed gratitude for the understanding and support shown by drivers and partners. The focus now is on finding a sustainable solution for the drivers and aiming for a return to Formula E in 2025. Formula E spokesperson confirmed the cancellation of NXT Gen Cup’s participation for Season 10 but assured fans of positive adjustments and initiatives like FIA Girls on Track to support young talent.
