The fundamental questions facing a Formula E junior series
As Formula E prepares to enter its new Gen3 era, many have pondered the prospect of its existing machines continuing in a feeder category. But before such a programme could be embarked on, there are several important questions that must be satisfactorily answered.
Formula E bosses have made no secret of their desire to establish an all-electric support series. But the pandemic, the push for financial regulations and the framework for the vitally important Gen3 car has so far prevented it from appearing at the top of the agenda. Plans for the latter two, at least, are now drawn up and signed off. As such, again talks can take place as to what a ‘Formula E 2’ concept might look like.
The new technical regulations for the 2022-23 season will put the Gen2 machines out to pasture. So, in the same way the Gen1 car was touted as a possible foundation for a feeder series, albeit one that never came to fruition, therein again lies the most obvious path to bolstering the weekend schedule.
