Our Editor's Take

Listeners can hear all about the ABB FIA Formula E Championships on The Race Formula E Podcast. Cohost Jack Nicholls has reported on it since the very beginning. Joining him is Formula E journalist Sam Smith. Expert Andrew van de Burgt also joins some episodes. Lovers of racing, e-racing in particular, can get much value from this show. This podcast may get hearts beating as fast as a high-speed race around the track.

Formula E is as exhilarating as other categories in motorsports. There's racing, winners, and all the other elements that audiences expect and love. It is similar to Formula 1. But in Formula E, the cars are all electric, which is what makes this category unique. For example, the tires are more stress-resistant than in traditional motorsport. Winning is more about balance and performance. For these reasons, the hosts believe that Formula E is the purest form of the championship. Listeners can hear about these factors-and many others-when listening to the show.

Many episodes of The Race Formula E Podcast feature analyses of the rounds of the Formula E season. The hosts discuss who they think will be the reigning premier. They also review the preseason, and talk about why a driver switched vehicles. Many topics are exclusive to electric vehicles, as opposed to combustion engines. For example, battery reliability issues and power increases. Sometimes, the show hosts athletes and teams involved in Formula E. One of them is season six champion António Félix da Costa. Another guest is Porsche development driver Simona de Silvestro.

Listeners learn about new circuits, rules, rivalries, and cars in this podcast. As electric vehicles evolve, so will the racing industry. The Race Formula E Podcast offers a front-seat view of it all unfolding. The show features race highlights, driver updates, vehicle reviews, and more. This is a show for anyone who can't get enough of motorsports and Formula E.

Berlin EPrix: A tempestuous weekend at Tempelhof
The Race Formula E podcast takes an in-depth look in to a tempestuous weekend at Berlin Tempelhof where Nick Cassidy and Antonio Felix da Costa triumphed amid a hail of carbon shards and intra-team and manufacturer recriminations. The Race team explain why the racing was so fraught and what the slow-build and then quick burst peloton style of racing means for Formula E’s future. The bigger picture of what Cassidy’s bumper points haul means for the title race is also analysed, as is how his teammate Mitch Evans might be able to haul himself back in to contention after a tricky weekend in Germany. Oliver Rowland’s continued impressive form is discussed alongside how it might be affecting his teammate Sacha Fenestraz. A round up of the news includes a likely all-female test at Valencia in November and the latest possibilities for new venues in the much debated 2025 calendar. Hosts Sam Smith and Andrew van de Burgt also pointlessly reminisce about the 1983 Long Beach Grand Prix, Jean-Pierre Jarier’s erratic form and why Smith randomly stole a packet of Haribo from a private jet.
