Team changes

[edit]

British motorsport brand Lola announced its return to top-level motorsport for the first time since the 1997 Formula One World Championship. Lola entered Formula E developing its own powertrain in cooperation with Yamaha.[18] This partnership supplies powertrains to ABT, who had previously used Mahindra powertrains but ended that affiliation,[11] and the team entered the season as Lola Yamaha ABT Formula E Team.[19]

After just a single year running, ERT Formula E Team was acquired by investment firm The Forest Road Company. The team rebranded as Kiro Race Co and raced under an American license. The team also ceased to be its own manufacturer, forming an agreement with Porsche to use its 2023–24 powertrain instead.[4][20]

Driver changes

[edit]

Season 8 champion Stoffel Vandoorne ended his contract with DS Penske after two seasons and joined Maserati MSG Racing in place of Maximilian Günther, who signed with DS Penske, thereby completing a driver swap between the two Stellantis-owned outfits.[21][8][3] Jehan Daruvala's contract at Maserati was also not renewed, with the team instead signing McLaren driver Jake Hughes.[22][23][3] To replace Hughes, McLaren promoted reserve and developmental driver Taylor Barnard to a full-time drive.[24]

Andretti driver Norman Nato left the team after a single season to return to the Nissan Formula E Team, with whom he last raced in 2023, replacing Sacha Fenestraz, who left the team after two seasons.[14][25] Nico Müller left ABT after two seasons with the team to replace Nato at Andretti.[26][17] Müller's replacement at ABT was announced to be Barbadian Formula 2 driver and former Andretti reserve driver Zane Maloney, who made his Formula E debut, thereby becoming the first Barbadian driver to compete in the series.[13]

Newly rebranded team Kiro Race Co did not rehire Sérgio Sette Câmara, with the Brazilian leaving the championship, and instead opted to sign Porsche reserve driver David Beckmann for his full-time debut in the championship alongside Dan Ticktum.[5]

Regulation changes

Technical regulations

[edit]

The championship is scheduled to introduce an upgrade to its Gen3 ruleset, called Gen3 Evo.[33] The updated ruleset will feature a new chassis package featuring a more robust front wing and new Hankook tyres aimed at providing increased grip. The new car will also contain an active front power train to be used in qualifying, the race start and during attack mode, increasing acceleration and power output.[34]

Sporting regulations

[edit]

The Manufacturers' Trophy introduced in season ten will become a World Championship title alongside the Teams’ and Drivers’ titles. Points will be awarded in a similar manner to the Teams’ title and will be based on the performance of each manufacturer's two highest-scoring cars in every race.[2]

Season report

[edit]

Pre-season

[edit]

Pre-season testing was set to take place at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia from 4–7 November 2024, before flooding in the area forced the championship to postpone and relocate the test to Circuito del Jarama on 5–8 November 2024.[35] An all-female test, the first of its kind in an FIA-sanctioned championship, concluded this test on 8 November.[36]
