Episode #493: 2024 Formula E Season Preview

Jan 09, 07:38 PM

So much for a break in January eh? Welcome back to Formula E on the Motorsport101 Channel, and for our 2024 Season Preview, we brought in Motion Podcast host Sascha Garlick back to chinwag over the Season 10 that starts this Saturday in Mexico City!

In this 2-hour preview, we talk about the big issues for the series off the track - Such as their pre-season testing fire in Valencia and the knock-on effect it'll have on Mahindra. We talk about the upcoming Attack Charge pitstops being added that have been pushed back to Misano in April.

There's also a big culture clash incoming as more conventional road courses in Misano and Shanghai are being added to the calendar, with Hyderabad pushed out due to a change of governance. Does the series know what it wants to be? Even more so now it's off free-to-air television in the UK?

Then we break down all the runners and riders for 2024. Can the Mahindra teams get off the bottom? Can McLaren find some form with Sam Bird now in the ranks? What about Nissan and the return of Oli Rowland alongside Sasha Fenestraz's proven speed?

Can Stellantis make their mark after midfield drama last season? And then the big hitters - Can Porsche's two teams co-exist? And can Envision compete with Jaguar's factory Superteam of Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy now Envision's drivers are focusing on Le Mans?

All that and more on Motorsport101!
