Formula E makes two important announcements before this weekend’s race in São Paulo. In the morning, the organization confirmed a technical collaboration with Google Cloud. They will utilize various Google Cloud technologies, including scalable cloud infrastructure, data and analytics, and generative artificial intelligence tools, to enhance the development of the GENBETA racing car. This partnership aims to accelerate the growth of Formula E as the world’s first all-electric motor sport.
Last season, Formula E and Google began their connection with the AI ‘DriverBot’. This collaboration resulted in the establishment of a new world speed record in an indoor environment by NEOM McLaren, with Jake Hughes, before the London E-Prix. In their joint statement, Formula E and Google outlined a three-point plan, which includes integrating new technologies into sports development, expanding the fan base, and supporting Formula E’s sustainability leadership.
Jeff Dodds, CEO of Formula E, expressed his excitement about the multi-year technological partnership with Google Cloud. He believes that this collaboration demonstrates Formula E’s ambition to establish itself as the most innovative, exciting, and fastest accelerating sport in the world. Dodds also highlighted their record-breaking achievements and expressed his eagerness for future endeavors.
Laurence Lafont, Vice President of Strategic Industries EMEA at Google Cloud, expressed enthusiasm for partnering with Formula E. Google Cloud aims to bring cutting-edge cloud technologies to the electrifying world of racing. Together, they plan to accelerate innovation on and off the track and shape the future of sustainable motor sports.
The FE has also unveiled a new Manufacturers’ Trophy for Season 10 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. This exciting competition will involve six manufacturers, namely Electric Racing Technologies, Jaguar, Mahindra Racing, Nissan, Porsche, and STELLANTIS. The scoring system will be similar to that of the Teams’ Championship, with extra points awarded for Pole Position and Fastest Lap. In addition to the trophy itself, the winner will receive a “Winner’s Badge” to proudly display on the team’s helmets, cars, and uniforms in the next season.
Alberto Longo, Co-Founder of FE, expressed his joy, stating: “We are thrilled to introduce the Manufacturers’ Trophy for Season 10 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. This achievement is the result of a lot of hard work and represents a significant milestone in the evolution of the Championship, capturing the competitive spirit that drives Formula E. Our manufacturers are at the heart of our journey, pushing the boundaries of technology and sustainability in motorsport. Their contributions are crucial, not only in shaping the future of racing, but also in advancing electric vehicle technology for everyday use. This trophy will celebrate their innovation, commitment, and role in driving us towards a more sustainable future.”
Ian James, President of the Teams and Manufacturers Association [FETAMA], commented: “With the introduction of the Manufacturers’ Trophy in Season 10, we are entering a new era of Formula E, which further emphasizes our dedication to innovation. As a World Championship, Formula E boasts an impressive list of manufacturers in motorsport, and it is fantastic to be able to recognize and reward the contributions of manufacturers to the past, present, and future of the series. The inclusion of this trophy not only intensifies the competition, but also showcases the advanced engineering behind each team.
