Record-setting Formula E viewer numbers at Mexico City E-Prix race

The FIA had no idea that the series viewership would enjoy a massive boost.

Formula E race cars on the track at Sao Paulo E-Prix.

When Formula E racing added Pit Boost in-race charging for the 2025 season calendar, the FIA rules-making organization likely had no idea that the series viewership would also enjoy a massive boost in its eleventh season. The fastest-growing motorsport set new records at the first two 2025 Season 11 E-Prix in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and Mexico City, Mexico.
What records did Formula E break?

Forty million people watched the first race in Sao Paulo, the most extensive opening-round race viewership in Formula E's eleven years. In the UK, thanks in part to a new free-to-air broadcast deal with ITV, the race's British audience grew by 120% from the 2024 race in Sao Paulo. The same race also set a record as Brazil's second-largest number of viewers for any race in Formula E's entire history.

Ducati unveils the XDiavel V4 sport cruiser: muscular, elegant, and exclusive

Not everyone will appreciate the appeal of this fusion of art and power

Rider on a 2025 Ducati XDiavel V4 Sport Cruiser riding on a mountain road.

Ducati may have achieved the impossible. The 2025 XDiavel V4 sport cruiser combines Ducati sportbike performance with relaxed cruiser comfort in an exclusive redesign setup for medium-range touring. It will cost close to $30K out-the-door when it arrives at U.S. dealerships in the summer of 2025, but the XDiavel V4's unique muscular styling, ergonomic rider posture, and bad-ass power make a clear statement: this bike is special.

The Diavel V4's styling won't appeal to everyone. Sportbike jockeys and big-twin cruiser fans may shake their heads, neither appreciating Ducati's design nor understanding why anyone else would. Others may immediately appreciate the beauty and promise of this fusion of art and power. I raise my hand in awe of the design.
