Why Formula E racing matters

Formula E racecars hit top speeds of more than 200 miles per hour, but they’re not as fast as F1 cars. The 2024 F1 racing schedule includes more races in more cities than Formula E, and F1 owns the bragging rights as the most elite motorsport. However, Formula E racing, with its all-electric race cars, is the only motorsport (so far) that doesn’t consume fossil fuels. Formula E races are much quieter without the roar of high-torque internal combustion engines.

Gradual changes in F1 Racing Regulations may transform F1 from its current hybrid ICE and electric power units to all-electric motors. However, Formula E was intentionally conceived to demonstrate the potential of sustainable mobility. The Formula E backstory started with a dinner in a Paris restaurant in March 2011 when FIA President Jean Todt and Spanish businessman Alejandro Agag jotted notes for an all-electric race series on a napkin.

2024 Formula E Racing – Season 10

Formula E racing became a thing with Season 1 in 2014 and 2015. The 2024 Formula E racing Season 10 starts January 13 in Mexico City. This season is also the second year of the GEN3 race car, a lighter, smaller, and faster vehicle than the previous two generations.

The 2024 Formula E race calendar pits eleven teams of two drivers each in competition in 16 E-Prix races in ten cities worldwide. All E-Prix races are single-day events, unlike F1’s three-day events with practices,  qualifying events, and the race itself running from Friday to Sunday. Six cities in the Formula E schedule host two races on the same weekend. The remaining four towns host a single race.

F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2024 preview: The last race decides the Championship
Red Bull is out of the running for the top spot, but McLaren and Ferrari both have a chance.
Yas Marina Circuit for the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2024.

The 2024 F1 racing season ends with the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on December 6 to 8. Red Bull's Max Verstappen locked in the Drivers' Championship during the Las Vegas Grand Prix, but the Constructors' Championship remains undecided as Ferrari still has a chance to outscore McLaren to win the biggest team prize of the season.
The challenges of the Yas Marina Circuit
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is run on the Yas Marina Circuit. It consists of 58 laps of the 3.28-mile track, or 190.14 miles. Max Verstappen set the lap record in 2021 at 1:26.103 (minutes: seconds). Verstappen won the race in 2023 when Ferrari's Charles Leclerc came in second, and Mercedes driver George Russell was third.

The track has sixteen turns, with two DRS zones allowing overtaking. The current weather forecast is for highs in the 80s. The track temperatures will be higher, which could make staying cool a challenge during the race.
The Constructors' Championship is at stake
McLaren currently has 640 Constructors' Championship points. There is a potential for any team to win a total of 44 points (during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, so Ferrari's current 619-point total puts the team in reach of the prize. Red Bull cannot win the Championship, although they could place second if Verstappen and Sergio Perez finish in the top three and Ferrari doesn't gain more than four points - neither of which outcome is likely. The McLaren and Ferrari race cars have been exceptionally fast recently, and both drivers have delivered, so it's possible that either team could win.

Austin Powers’ 1967 ‘Shaguar’ E-Type is going up for auction
Austin Powers' Shaguar is being auctioned off in January

For those who had their formative years around the mid-to-late 1990s and early 2000s, it was all but impossible to ignore the comedic cultural influence that the Austin Powers movie franchise beset upon the cinematic viewing community. Imitating Mike Myers' secret agent with a "Yeah, baby!" or his villainous alter ego Dr. Evil by putting pinky to lips saying, "Throw me a frickin' bone here."

Let's also not forget how the word "Shag" (or variations thereof) was used so gratuitously in an effort to overemphasize the nature of secret agent movies' formulaic torrid, satirically (and often deadly) love affairs that it became part of the (American) English lexicon for the better part of a decade.
