sustainability in electric single-seater racing. The rebranded Formula G championship, created by Dilbagh Gill and Nick Heidfeld, will launch in late 2024 and will consist of independent championships in four regions. The series will run as a support series alongside existing combustion engine, alternative fuel, and all-electric powered racing events. The dual-power concept will allow for two championships, with the higher-power F-G1 series for professional drivers and the reduced-power F-G2 series running at the same events. This setup aims to provide double the entertainment value for fans, increased branding opportunities for sponsors, and exposure for both emerging and established drivers. The construction of a new car, known as the FG-ETwin, has been contracted, and the series will feature a 10-team, 20-car field with 40 drivers. Formula G initially considered using modified versions of Formula E’s old Gen2 cars but ultimately decided to create its own car. The move to four independent regional championships was made in response to feedback from teams and promoters, in order to address economic and sustainability challenges in each region. Formula G aims to become the leading support series in electric single-seater racing by providing affordability and sustainability.
