Since 2014, Formula E has quickly established itself as a trailblazing electric racing championship, developing significantly over its 10-season span. At first, there were just two championships — Drivers’ and Teams’ championships — until after Season 6 concluded; at that time it became a World Championship status, offering up one additional accolade per season — the Manufacturers’ Championship title in subsequent years.
The Quest for the Formula E Drivers’ Championship
Formula E’s elevation to World Championship status at the conclusion of Season 6 cemented its place among other single-seater FIA categories as an elite racing series, joining Formula 1. Nyck De Vries was honored to become its inaugural World Champion – since then Stoffel Vandoorne, Jake Dennis, and Pascal Wehrlein have held onto it respectively. Contestants vie for points across races with 25 awarded to race winners with tapering off points down until one point for 10th. A unique scoring system ensures each race remains competitive until its finale arrives – keeping points competitive right until its culmination point!
The Teams’ Championship Battle
Teams’ Championship: Eleven teams vie arduously for this title. Both drivers on a team contribute points towards its total; these also cover points awarded for fastest lap and pole position. Powerhouses like Porsche, Jaguar, Envision and Andretti have long held supremacy over this competition; though fierce and close rivalries still prevail today – Jaguar winning Season 10 marked its inaugural team championship victory and showcased both its growing dynamics and intensity of competition within this series.
The Inauguration of the Manufacturers’ Championship
Season 10 marked an historic achievement by inaugurating a Manufacturers’ Championship, elevating competition among six manufacturers: Electric Racing Technologies, Jaguar, Mahindra Racing, Nissan, Porsche and STELLANTIS. Based on a point system similar to Teams’ Championship points system, winners received not only points but also a custom badge designed especially for them and worn on helmets, cars and team apparel for future seasons – Jaguar claimed this inaugural Manufacturers’ trophy by narrowly beating Porsche, setting up another exciting Season 11.
