Porsche 99X Electric Gen3: this is what the new car looks like

It has already been unveiled how will be the single-seater for the 2020-21 Formula E championship, the first that will be under the umbrella of the FIA, although to see it live we will have to wait until the Geneva Motor Show 2020. As can be seen in the photographs it is an evolution of the current model, as was done with the first one used when this electric car competition began.

The first thing that catches the eye in the new single-seater is that the fairings for both front and rear wheels disappear, returning to the origins. This feature has allowed a total change of the front and rear wings, which now end in a C-shape in front of the tire itself, at the front, and almost joining at the rear.

Aiming to ensure a competitive debut in its seventh season in the FIA World Championship, Formula E has modified the bodywork of its second-generation single-seater introduced for the 2018-2019 season to feature the Gen2 EVO.

The rear also features a new curved spoiler that leaves the tires in the air. The tireless wheels are reminiscent of the first generation of single-seaters, the Gen 1s, with which electric racing began in 2014.

Another significant change to the chassis is the aggressive look added by the new dorsal fin that will remain fixed in motorsport memory. Alejandro Agag states that “this single-seater will forever remain in the history books as the first to compete for an ABB FIA Formula E World Championship”.

The Gen2 EVO, with which the teams will compete in the seventh season of the category, will continue to use Michelin Pilot Sport 18-inch tires, suitable for racing on dry or wet tracks.

Spark Racing Technologies is the company in charge of developing the chassis for the competition, which is standard for all teams. The modifications have been made after studying all the information gathered during last season, which was the first season in which GEN2 single-seaters participated.

Once the track was clean, the race was restarted behind the safety car, although it was only for one lap. As soon as the race was restarted, another candidate for the title was out. In this case it was Jake Dennis, the BMW driver.

After a very eventful start, the race was more stable. Nato was leading the race. The eye was on Nyck De Vries who had the title in his hands for the moment, but behind his closest pursuers in the championship.

The final minutes of the race were very hot, Nyck De Vries wanted to overtake Lotterer risking his first Formula E title. A maneuver that was very risky for the Dutchman’s race.

Finally Norman Nato took the victory, second Rowland and third Vandoorne. The new world champion is called Nyck De Vries. The young Mercedes driver becomes the first world champion of the category. In addition, the Mercedes team is constructors’ champion, and in his possible farewell to the category.

Formula E Gen3: first look at the new car

Formula E already has a new single-seater. The Gen2 Evo is already a reality that will be seen live at the 2020 Geneva Motor Show just before the start of the first ever Formula E World Championship. Yes, the 2020/2021 season will not be an ordinary one, since for the first time Formula E will have the protection of the FIA and the consideration of world championship.

To be at the height, they have presented a new electric single-seater that is already getting serious. More aggressive and futuristic, the Gen2 Evo has removed the wheel covers to meet the wishes of many drivers, who had asked for this change to prevent overtaking in which some drivers benefited from the robustness of the car by leaning on others.

The Michelin tires, 18 inches and valid for any type of surface, are maintained, so that there is no need to change tires in case it starts to rain or the track starts to dry out. Of course, the new Formula E also has the FIA regulatory halo.
