#formulae heads to Spain and Valencia’s Circuit Ricardo Tormo this weekend (April 24 & 25) for Rounds 5 & 6 of the 2020/21 ABB FIA #formulae World Championship, with Formula E’s long-term pre-season test venue making its competitive debut on the calendar.
Driver round-up Jaguar #racing left Rome at the top the teams’ and drivers’ tables, having eclipsed its entire Season 6 points haul in only the first four rounds of this season.
Sam Bird led the charge for the British outfit as Jaguar secured their maiden double podium in #formulae in Round 3 – Bird scything his way through the field from 10th to second spot with team-mate Mitch Evans following in third.
Robin Frijns (Envision Virgin Racing) sits third in the running while Mercedes-EQ’s Stoffel Vandoorne fired himself into drivers’ championship contention after a redemptive run to a race win in Round 4.
After four rounds so far this season – Formula E’s first as an FIA World Championship – the competition is closer than ever, with every team having scored at least one point and 22 of the 24 drivers grid having made Super Pole.
DHL #valenciaeprix – new to the calendar
The 3.37km Circuit Ricardo Tormo is a familiar location for #formulae as host of four of the series’ official pre-season tests – the first in Season 4.
This weekend will mark its first appearance on the #racing calendar, with a new circuit configuration for Formula E’s 12 teams and 24 drivers to navigate. After the left-hander and Attack Mode Activation Zone at Turn 8, the cars will dive sharp right into Turn 9 and 10, through a long, sweeping left-hander at Turn 11. After the final corner, there is a chicane before crossing the start/finish line.
