La Fórmula E prendió motores en Londres

Los diseñadores y constructores han desarrollado técnicas para que estos vehículos que prometen llevarse la atención de los amantes de la adrenalina desarrollan velocidades máximas de 250 kilómetros por hora y pasar de cero a 100 en tres segundos.

Las carreras se llevarán a cabo en 10 ciudades, incluyendo Putrajaya, Malasia, Buenos Aires, Argentina, Punta del Este, Uruguay, Miami y Long Beachen en Estados Unidos.

El pasado mes de junio en el puente de Westminster en Londres, hicieron parte de la presentación oficial de los monoplazas personalidades como Damon Hill, Christian Fittipaldi , Frank Williams, la marca de relojes suiza TAG Heuer, al igual que políticos y dignatarios.

La marca de relojes Tag Heuer, será patrocinadora de la Formula E, donde con su movimientos de última tecnología se impondrá con el cronometrador oficial, reloj oficial, cronógrafo y socio fundador.

El acuerdo se firmó en La Chaux-de-Fonds, Suiza, por Jean-Christophe Babin, Presidente y CEO de TAG Heuer y Alejandro Agaj, CEO de Formula E Holdings.

Debe de ser curioso ver esos carros, y quedarse esperando por el sonido típico de los F1.
Y al no tener que jalar aire al motor, seguro aerodinamicamente pueden llegar a ser muy buenos.

[Paul Delgado]

veo que las llantas son con dibujo, alguien sabe los specs de los carros? como el tipo de motor eléctrico que usan, máximas rpm, duración de la batería, si tienen regeneración de energía, peso del chasis, etc.

Design

Aerodynamics optimized to facilitate overtaking
High ride height sensitivity and wide range of suspension set up possibilities to tackle the city centre streets
Cost effectiveness
Compliant to FIA safety regulations

Technology

Use of latest technology, pushing the boundaries for the future
Compromise between performance and cost effectiveness wherever possible
Extensive use of composite materials but limited usage of the most expensive carbon fibres

Dimensions

Overall length: 5000mm (max)
Overall width: 1800mm (max)
Overall height: 1250mm (max)
Track width: 1300mm (min)
Ride Height: 75mm (max)
Overall weight (inc driver): 800kg (min) // Batteries alone 200kg

Power

Max power (limited): 200kw, equivalent to 270bhp
Race mode (power-saving): 133kw, equivalent to 180bhp
'Push-to-Pass': 67kw

Maximum power will be available during practice and qualifying sessions. During races, power-saving mode will apply with the 'Push-to-Pass' system temporarily allowing maximum power for a limited time.
The amount of energy that can be delivered to the MGU by the RESS is limited to 30kwh. This will be permanently monitored by the FIA.
Performance

Acceleration: 0 - 100 km/h (0-62mph) in 3s - Estimated
Maximum speed: 225 km/h (FIA limited) - Estimated

Final performance figures are still to be verified.
Engine

MGU by McLaren
Maximum of two MGU's allowed
MGU's must be linked only to the rear axle

Traction battery

The traction battery is a Rechargeable Energy Storage System (RESS) and supplies electric energy to the Power Circuit and thus to the traction motor. Any onboard battery electrically connected to the Power Circuit is considered to be an integral part of the vehicle's traction battery

RESS

A Rechargeable Energy Storage System (RESS) is a system that is designed to propel the car via the electric motor. In order to comply they must be:
- FIA Standard
- The maximum weight of the Battery Cells and/or Capacitor of the RESS must not be higher than 200kgs
- All Battery Cells must be certified to UN Transportation Standards as a minimum requirement

Chassis

Chassis / Survival cell - Carbon/aluminium honeycomb structure made by Dallara
Front and rear wing - Carbon structures and Aero styling by Dallara
Bodywork - Carbon - Kevlar honeycomb structures made by Dallara

Gearbox

Hewland paddle shift sequential gearbox
Fixed gear ratios to reduce costs

Brakes

Standard two separate Hydraulic systems, operated by the same pedal
Brake material is free choice
Calipers; the section of each caliper piston must be circular
The body of the callipers must be made from aluminium alloy

Wheels & tyres

Bespoke 18" treaded Michelin tyres for use on both wet and dry conditions/surfaces

Adjustable ride height, camber and toe
Two way (front) / Four way (rear) adjustable Koni dampers
Adjustable anti-roll bar (front/rear)

Steering system

Non assisted rack and pinion steering system (power assistance is allowed)
Steering wheel with dashboard, marshalling display, gear change and clutch paddles

Safety

FIA safety standards including: front, side, rear and steering column impact tests
Front and rear roll hoop, impact structures and monocoque push tests
Anti-intrusion survival cell protection panels
Wheel retainer safety cables
Extinguisher system (electronically operated)

Camera equipment

Roll hoop, nose cone and face shot camera pre-equipment.

Formula E knows that the noise of any racing car is very important to its fans, which is why the sound of the new Spark-Renault SRT_01E will be one of the Championship's most unique and exciting features. Contrary to popular belief, the Formula E cars are far from silent producing a modern, futuristic sound, combined with the fusion of the tyres on the track, the car's aero package and the electric drivetrain itself.

At high speed the sound produced by one SRT_01E will be approximately 80 decibels, more than an average petrol road car which produces around 70db. Meanwhile, and purely for reasons of safety, an artificial sound will be used when the cars enter the pit lane to ensure they can be heard by mechanics and officials. This will be produced with the aid of an expert sound designer.

And so by reducing excessive noise, fans of all ages will be able to enjoy a new experience in motorsport with added benefits such as clearer trackside race commentary.

Tyres are one of the most crucial elements in modern day motorsport which is why, following a tender process, the FIA has chosen leading French company Michelin as the Official Tyre Partner for the FIA Formula E Championship.

Michelin is the world's largest tyre manufacture and as well as boasting a long and impressive motorsport pedigree, it is also highly committed to sustainable mobility and improving safety on our roads. As such, Formula E will give Michelin the opportunity to showcase all its core values; innovation, performance, energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.

Drawing upon its many years’ of experience, Michelin has developed a bespoke 18-inch treaded tyre that is unique to the FIA Formula E Championship and usable for both wet and dry conditions (so no separate wet and dry tyres or different compounds). Michelin will supply tyres that will not only deliver exciting racing but also cope with the demands of the abrasive street circuits and all weather conditions. Of course, the tyres will still provide competitors with maximum grip together with reduced mass and optimised energy efficiency to help improve battery life.

To aid with sustainability and with cost-saving key to Michelin and the FIA Formula E Championship, the Michelin tyres will also be extremely durable, able to last throughout an entire race event. Drivers will be supplied with three sets of tyres to cover both their cars for a full race day including practice, qualifying and the race itself. Teams will also not be permitted to change tyres during the race, meaning expensive pit stop equipment is not necessary, helping to reduce running costs even further.
