Attack mode has proven to be more impactful than ever before following the introduction of the Gen3 EVO.
Nick Cassidy and Jean-Eric Vergne expressed concerns about the impact of the new attack mode in Formula E races, fearing that races could be won on luck rather than skill. The attack mode feature gives drivers an extra 50kW of power for a limited duration, activated by driving through designated activation loops on track. In previous seasons, attack mode was used simply to comply with regulations, but with the introduction of all-wheel drive in the Gen3 EVO, it has become a potent tool for overtaking. Despite creating more excitement with increased overtaking opportunities, there is a shared concern among drivers and teams that race victories could be decided by luck rather than pure skill, leading to a potential shift in the competitive landscape of Formula E.
