voestalpine: This coming season marks the start of Austrian technology group voestalpine’s partnership with the ABB FIA Formula E Championship, the emerging and already highly successful fully-electric street racing series. The “voestalpine European Races” will be a completely new race category, offering a separate European ranking within the overall competition for the first time. The new Formula E season - starting on December 15 - heralds many innovations: a new race car, a more powerful battery enabling the races to be run without a change of car, “attack mode” higher power level visible to the viewers with LED lighting on the car, and the “voestalpine European Races”. The starting signal for the European season will be given in Rome on April 13. Four races later, after Paris, Monaco, Berlin and Bern, the driver who has collected the most points in all the European races will be crowned the first Formula E European Champion. He will be officially awarded a trophy, produced by voestalpine itself using special 3D printing technology, at the end of the last European race in Bern. If this Formula E “Grand Slam” had existed last year, the trophy would have gone to Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler driver Lucas di Grassi.
