Sparking an electric future

Global auto giants flocking to join Formula E frenzy

Three short years after being launched, FIA's Formula E Championship is making good on its slogan to "Drive the Future" while rapidly evolving into one of the most important series in auto racing.

"There are more automobile manufacturers participating in Formula E than any other series, even Formula One, because everyone is looking at the future and they know that the future is electric," Ivan Yim, managing director of Team Techeetah, told China Daily at last month's Mexico City ePrix.
