Formula E will introduce the NXT Gen Cup, a new junior support series for drivers aged 15-25, which will be held at Formula E European events and two events on the DTM schedule. The NXT Gen Cup began last year as a support series for the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship and will now expand to other European venues. This is the first support series for Formula E since the Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy. The NXT Gen Cup will feature a Mini Cooper SE-based car with a 30kWh battery and 180hp, as well as an additional 60hp from a push-to-pass system. The championship will include practice sessions, qualifying sessions, and a race. The 2024 calendar includes races in Italy, Monaco, Germany, and the UK.
