Junior Formula E series has been created
It was announced a few days ago that a new junior electric single-seater series called Formulino E has been created, which could become the feeder series to Formula E or the Electric Touring Car Championship.
However, Formula E and the FIA have no involvement in the series. The car has been created by Formula E's chassis partner Dallara and Belgian constructor Punch Powertrain.
Formulino E will use an adapted version of the Formulino car with a motor that ranges from 120kW (160bhp) to the same 200kW (268bhp) peak output of the Formula E cars, and a top speed in excess of 120mph.
The car, which is yet to be crash tested, has a considerably lower driverless weight of 545kg, compared to 880kg (including the driver) in Formula E.
The car completed it first shakedown laps in Zolder before its launch on Wednesday at the European Battery, Hybrid and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Congress in Geneva.
The car's 15kWh battery is reportedly capable of 15 minutes continuous driving, which was equivalent to eight laps at Zolder.
