Formula E Just Did Something Ridiculous (Taking On Formula 1)

Formula E has just revealed one of the biggest shake-ups in its history, with a new 2026/27 calendar, brand-new GEN4 car, new race formats, and major venues like COTA, Zandvoort and Brands Hatch joining the championship. In this video, we break down why the new Formula E calendar could be a huge moment for electric racing, how the GEN4 car changes the championship with more power, all-wheel drive and much higher performance, and whether Formula E is finally becoming a serious alternative to traditional motorsport series like Formula 1, WEC and IndyCar. With 21 races, new circuits, faster cars, and the arrival of the GEN4 era, Formula E might be about to enter its most important season yet — but is this the move that finally makes people take it seriously?
