Coasting therefore can help in two ways, by reducing energy used at high speed and by allowing the motor to stay in the sweet spot. A pretty significant front motor, producing 250kW, is capable of doing about 80-90% of the total required braking effort around the typical street circuits that Formula E run.Īt high speed, the car will utilize some physical brakes on full brake pressure, as the speed reduces the need for this is reduced and eliminated for two reasons: The first is that at high speed, more torque is required to achieve maximum braking due to downforce, the second is the nature of electric motors to produce less torque at high rotational speeds.Īt higher speeds, at full brake pressure, the physical brakes will do a significant amount of the deceleration effort, and this will blend into more electrical regeneration as speed bleeds off the car. The car has no physical rear brakes and as such all the braking is accomplished via the rear power unit. The harder you brake, the more your regen. Touching the brake pedal even 1% will give you a very light regen amount, around 20kW. To regenerate power, you must use the brakes. It will be important to use the HUD, and new steering wheel display to figure out exactly how much power you can use to make it to the end of the race. If you decide to test your pace and compete in this top-level sim racing competition, we wish you the best of luck!įind out more about Formula E Accelerate HERE! The first session is now live over on the in-game Competition System. The top 11 drivers across the Berlin and Rome Round events will be invited directly to the London Finals held in person at the London ExCel, the location of the London E-Prix on the 29th of July. Each Round will consist of 1x race following hot-lap qualifying and Qualifying Duels to determine the grid order. The top 22 drivers will then proceed to the respective Round event. ![]() ![]() Qualifying Races will be the second stage of qualification into rounds, consisting of 3x races. The season is sure to be action-packed, with the drivers needing lightning-quick reactions to remain at the front of the field (see what we did there!)īut how will the Esport Series work? For each Round (Berlin and Rome), there will be an open qualifying session to decide the top 88 drivers into Qualifying Races. ![]() Finally, Formula E Accelerate, the official Esports Championship of ABB FIA Formula E, begins tomorrow (Friday 14th April) – which you are able to race yourself! As long as you are 16 years of age or older, and own rFactor 2 plus all of the necessary content – you’re free to compete.
