Formula E is primed to make several changes to its sporting rules – including the requirements around attack mode in races featuring its new fast-charging pitstops
Formula E is planning to implement changes to its sporting structure for the 2025-26 season, focused on adjusting the use of attack mode in races with Pit Boost stops.
The FIA, in collaboration with teams and promoters, is contemplating limiting the activation of attack mode to one per race in Pit Boost events to streamline the racing experience.
The addition of Pit Boost, which consists of fast-charging pit stops adding 10% usable race energy, has been utilized in select races to enhance the competition.
There have been concerns about the complexity of managing both attack mode and Pit Boost, leading to discussions on simplifying the rules to improve clarity for fans.
Proposed modifications include reducing the number of attack mode activations and potentially allowing drivers to pause their attack timer during safety car periods.
The Formula E community is generally receptive to these changes, with the final decision expected to be announced soon following discussions at the FIA Formula E commission meeting.
Besides the adjustments to attack mode, there are discussions about revising the requirement to utilize all attack mode time before the race concludes to prevent race results from being impacted by suspensions.
