It feels like we've been talking about Formula E Gen3 for forever now, and with the promise of lighter, faster, more powerful cars, the anticipation from teams, drivers and fans in terms of whether it'll improve the racing is high. But like any major regulation change, there's been a lot of work going on behind the scenes in order to get to this point.
To find out what Nissan and its partners like Shell have been doing behind the scenes to get ready for Gen3.

And only 9 months later, not even the steering wheel is the same anymore. 😊

Damn Gen 2 had waaaaaaaayyyyy cooler looking cars tho

If they really care about the environment, stop letting oil and gas companies sponsor Formula e teams.
@Nagstersept109868 Says:
The racing has been great so far this year. I love that these cars are very different than F1 cars. The car seems hard for the drivers, which might not be fun for them, but is interesting to learn about and watch.
@Appletank8 Says:
Do those nose wings do anything at all?
@BrianK04 Says:
front motor doesn't output power, so the 600kw power output is a lie.
@farkdangler Says:
meh! ugly as heck from the front view
@umaikakudo Says:
I can guarantee you there is no way to sustainably use natural rubber for all tires on the road.
@msah.fitribahari9022 Says:
@ 1:38 No rear brake 🤔🤔
Could not do the drifting styles
.. " Nanni "🙄 🤣🤣
@PunnamarajVinayakTejas Says:
Formula E cars have been becoming more and more like drag racing cars over the generations. I wonder how much that contributes to efficiency gains. I do like the racing though.
@CardizoneSemblance Says:
I'd like to see formula E on more conventional tracks and I hope that this tech pushes them to that direction. Interesting to see no rear brakes affect driveability under braking when attacking corners. Maybe a change in driving technique.
Also I haven't seen much Jess since WTF1 but she looks great and has put on weight in all the right places. Keep crushing it, Jess.
@Fishbone8891 Says:
Formula E went lighter and smaller, take notes F1
@emilianoacevedo6079 Says:
sorry no rear brakes?
@aleksej79novosibirsk Says:
Formula E = Formula sh... ;)
@MD-uu5nt Says:
Christ, this motorsport series is just so lame.
It's everything traditional motorsports isn't. Corporate funded instead of grassroots, efficiency focused instead of performance focused.
Its just fundamentally flawed and it will never be popular. Nothing that people love has ever come from corporations trying to manufacture something.
@BAndersen-ee1xy Says:
The information is wrong. The front motor provides 250kw of regen power but does not provide power to the wheels. The rear provides 350kw of regen (600kw total) and power to the rear tyres only. The horsepower is roughly 470.
@evukelectricvehicles Says:
1) The continuing refusal - even with this 200mph car - to move at least some races to (F1) race-tracks is absurd.
2) Battery-swapping pit-stops: although battery-swapping is still a pretty silly idea for consumer EVs - it should have been built into this Gen3 F3 race car. Especially given that EV manufacturers like NIO can now auto-swap large consumer EV battery-packs in just 30 seconds(!!). We could have much longer, much faster, far more epic and exciting track battles out on real, wide race-tracks - and battery-swap pit-stops would add much-needed drama and tension to races. But it's clear that the FIA and F1's powerful overlords and other F1-related vested interests still don't want to see Formula E and battery-power rivalling - or heaven forbid - overtaking F1 and fossil fuel in terms of mainstream audience appeal/numbers.
So we're stuck with ultra-fast, high-performance - but still strait-jacketed - next-gen Formula E race-cars largely still constricted and restricted to narrow city streets unable to show their full F1-rivalling power+speed+range+overtaking capability and potential. Tragic.

-Formula E is about conservation and renewable energy.

@ShionShinigami Says:
It might look a bit strange, but with those figures it's probably the first time ever you can call the Formula E car a real racecar.
@zezrem6238 Says:
She’s good looking 😊
@procatprocat9647 Says:
Deleting the rear brakes is inspired. Hope to see that on road cars soon
@antoniok4735 Says:
Very ugly car it's like a triangle kit car !
The gen 2 cars were better looking.
@AS19Motorsport Says:
If they can sort out reliability, the series will be amazing to watch
@kushagradeepmishra7641 Says:
video is good...but why is she dancing all the way 😂
@asdsad17 Says:
holy ugly
@mathai2kochi Says:
Ahh..finally found Otmar Szaufners Long lost French brother!
@philspencelayh5464 Says:
Every time there is a change I look forward to the brave new world then fall asleep when the racing starts. Lets hope its better this time of course better tracks with less crashing would make for better races.
@mborsik Says:
I cannot design it uglier even if I tried. And these road-relevant tires are a yoke! Come on, this series travels just as much as F1, the co2-reduction of these durable tires is negligible, the cars are already laughably slow in the straights, at least they should have some proper sticky slicks for those short races
@whiteandnerdytuba Says:
No one cares about formula e
@robsprocket Says:
Maybe one day we'll have the technology to have a proper electric racing series instead of this battery saving formula on low speed tracks.🤞
@Doubledeepfried Says:
Hope they can race, and not 1/4 acceleration, coast 2/4, and brake 1/4 on the straight.
@mahamed92 Says:
The nissan looks more like a Ferrari than Ferrari
@KayJblue Says:
I feel like Gen 3 was designed only so they could advertise 200mph.
At least the low df should help dirty air, although I don’t think they had a problem with that before.
@hectorshouse7348 Says:
I had battery cars as a child…grown out of them…boring
@xxadrian_mxx7871 Says:
I Just can't. It's a damn triangle with fins.
@JanitorIsBack Says:
people still care about this series?
@michaelkyriacou7026 Says:
Car looks awesome,though no where near as much as you do Jess!! 😍
@cristianomori2345 Says:
I think the total power is 350 kw, the 600 kw are the ones of regen power
@MaunoKoivistoOfficial Says:
I want to like the look of these, but I just don't. The design is such a mess, and for no apparent reason, as aero isn't a factor in this series. They could have done a lot better job.
@flyingphoenix113 Says:
And yet, despite the pronounced power-to-weight ratio improvement, it is BARELY any faster than the gen 2 in pre-season testing. This is likely down to the thoroughly mediocre Hankook tires, but it's a long way from the promised performance improvement.
@The1emersonukno Says:
Jess mcthicf1
@Starfishtroopers Says:
boat with wheels.
@thandontantiso3744 Says:
Gen 2 cars look better then gen 3. It looks like a Dorito Just saying.
