“<strong>The</strong>re are many<br />
differences and<br />
challenges with Formula E when<br />
comparing to other race series,<br />
most of them refreshingly good!”<br />
Coorey says of the series’ set-up.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> mass of our cars stays constant<br />
as opposed to a racecar that burns<br />
fuel and gets a lot lighter as the<br />
race goes on.<br />
Drivers are on the limit in any<br />
racecar, but our Formula E drivers<br />
must achieve even higher efficiency<br />
levels, so they adapt and learn new<br />
ways of taking every little bit of<br />
speed at the entry and through the<br />
corner so as not to waste any of the<br />
car’s momentum.”<br />
“It’s a big team effort to get on<br />
top of this both in preparation and<br />
during the race,” adds driver Mitch<br />
Evans. “You need a different<br />
technique under braking to<br />
maximise the potential of the car<br />
with the regeneration.”<br />
Each new location presents its own unique challenges. For drivers Adam Caroll (below, left) and Mitch Evans<br />
(below, right), the scheduled preparations include both physical and technical training, on and off the track<br />
