The inaugural season will see 10 teams, each with two drivers,
competing in the 2014/2015 FIA Formula E Championship. All teams
- coming from a variety of top, global championships - have now been
announced (see below) and will now be submitted to the FIA for final
approval by its World Motor Sport Council.
It will be down to the individual teams to select their drivers but they're expected to bring with them a high-profile international background gained from the likes of IndyCar, GP2 and Formula One.
For the inaugural season, each team will run four Spark-Renault SRT_01E single-seaters, two per driver, with the cars being transported to and from each race venue by Formula E. This, in addition to the cars being housed at a central workshop, is designed to reduce running costs along with measures such as restricting the number of team personnel, fixing the car's gear ratios, and not having in-race tyre changes in order to reduce the need for expensive pit stop equipment.
Formula E is also an 'open championship' allowing teams to design and develop their own cars - in accordance to the technical specifications set out by the FIA - and showcasing their electrical energy innovations in a competitive, racing environment.
