Gen3: a superb single-seater for a new era in electric racing!

Formula E’s Gen3 all-electric race car was unveiled on Thursday at the Yacht Club de Monaco, ahead of the Monaco E-Prix race weekend. And everybody invited was stunned by the sheer beauty of the new car, set to race from Season 9.

The official unveiling was a very special event on the site of one of the most glamourous motor racing events of this world. A special event for manufacturers, teams, drivers, partners and VIP guests, but fans all over the world were also able to experience the show via the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship’s digital channels, in order to get a first in-depth look.

“Formula E’s Gen3 race car represents a leap forward for motorsport and electric mobility,” sayd Jamie Reigle, Formula E CEO. “Designed to demonstrate that high performance, efficiency and sustainability can be packaged together without compromise, the Gen3 car is our most powerful, lightest, and fastest race car to date. We are happy that we finally took the covers off the Gen3 in Monaco, a location steeped in motor racing history, and we are eager to see this car lighting up city streets around the world next season.”

While the world saw the Gen3 race car for the first time, on Thursday, Formula E has its sights further into the future of all-electric single-seater motorsport. In Monaco, Formula E and the FIA have also planned to host a roundtable event bringing together leaders from manufacturers across the automotive sector. This summit is designed to focus on potential innovations and technology roadmaps for the Gen4 era, as Formula E affirms its position as the pinnacle of electric mobility development and racing.

E-Prix: Summary of the 4 first editions

E-Prix: Summary of the 4 first editions

Organised in 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2021, Formula E is back for a 5th edition this year. A look back on the highlights of the Monaco E-Prix history.

2015

The debut Monaco ePrix took place on 9 May 2015 and was a historic moment for Formula E, as it was the first race to be held in Europe. The track which ran alongside Port Hercule, was a shortened version of the traditional Circuit de Monaco. Sébastien Buemi of e.dams Renault claimed pole position by two-tenths over Abt Sportsline driver Lucas di Grassi, and later went on to claim the win after a chaotic first corner that led to a 6-car pile up.

2017

Formula E returned two years later to the famous streets of Monaco with a 51-lap race won by previous Monaco winner and e.Dams Renault driver Sebastien Buemi

(with Audi Sport ABT driver, Lucas di Grassi, finishing second and Mahindra driver, Nick Heidfeld coming in third). Buemi started the day on Pole and stopped the Audi driver from taking the lead after a safety car ( deployed on lap 22 following a crash between Piquet Jr and Vergne) allowed him to switch cars. Only 15 out of the 20 cars finished the race.

2019

In 2019, the Techeetah-DS driver, Jean-Éric Vergne, was the Driver of the Day.

Started from pole, he managed to hang onto his position for his first win in Monaco despite nearly running out of energy. Wehrlein, who started from second, slid wide in Sainte Devote and was passed by Rowland and Massa who went on to take second and third place respectively. There was a lot of excitement over Massa’s home race podium.

2021

Last year, for the seventh race of the FE Season 7, only 19 drivers (out of the 24 on the grid) saw the finish line, with Antonio Felix da Costa bringing another win to DS-Techeetah with a thrilling last-lap overtake over Jaguar driver, Mitch Evans. The 26-lap race was dominated by the Techeetah team, with da Costa’s teammate delivering a P4. Ultimately the podium held da Costa, Robin Frijns, and Evans following a race full of battery conservation strategies, attack mode deployment, and a multi-car collision on lap one.

Sébastien Loeb, an 80th win for eternity!

11 May 2026

Sébastien Loeb, an 80th win for eternity!

The greatest rally driver of all time, if we only look at the prize list and statistics, won the 90th edition of the Monte-Carlo Rally on Sunday, beating by 10 seconds and 5 tenths only, after 17 special stages over 4 days, his arch-rival Sébastien Ogier. His 80th win in WRC, and the 8th triumph in Monaco, where he first competed in 2021, in a small red Citroën Saxo.

Ogier was twice hit by bad luck in the last two stages: first a puncture of his front left tire, in SS16, and then a ten-second penalty for a jump start in SS17, due to a small technical glitch which forced him to release the clutch a little too early.

Loeb did not know he had won when he got out of his Ford Puma at the end of SS17, in the medieval town of Entrevaux, after four days of a fierce and intense fight between the two greatest champions of the modern era of rallying: 9 world titles for Loeb, 8 for Ogier, both having decided to slow down a bit, to start other projects. For Loeb, it was 10 years ago (last full season in 2012) and for Ogier only last month (8th world title in December 2021 at the Monza rally) .

“It’s unbelievable. We didn’t expect so much when we got here,” said Loeb after the podium in Entrevaux. “We were unlucky, but that’s rallying”, Ogier said. He was still leading by 24 seconds at the start of SS16, the one in which he punctured his front-left tire, finishing on the rim and losing 34 seconds in the process. Each had started this rally in a new car of the hybrid era, and with a new teammate, Benjamin Veillas for Ogier, Isabelle Galmiche for Loeb.

This is Loeb’s 80th victory in the WRC, including 79 with Daniel Elena and one with Isabelle Galmiche, a maths teacher who made the most of her weekend in a Ford Puma. She navigated perfectly a very demanding driver, and she was rewarded by climbing on a podium for history, alongside Loeb, Ogier, Veillas and another crew, fully Irish, entered by Ford M-Sport, consisting of Craig Breen and Paul Nagle.

This stunning win is also one for Malcolm Wilson’s M-Sport Ford team, which had almost skipped the 2021 season to better prepare for the arrival of the new technical regulations, in order to fine-tune the settings of this Ford Puma Hybrid. It was objectively the best car of this 1st round of 2022, at the very beginning of the hybrid era in WRC. This car designed in Banbury UK was at the same time the fastest, the most reliable and the easiest to drive, according to all its drivers this week, starting with Loeb and Breen, and adding young Gus Greensmith, 25, who posted his first stage win in WRC, on Friday.

“We have just finished a rally, so we need to celebrate before we decide if there will be others…”, Loeb also said. At almost 48, next February, he has just set a new record: that of the winner on older in fifty seasons of World Rally, a little better than Swede legend Bjorn Waldegard at the Safari in 1990, then aged 46. “For me, it won’t be right away,” Ogier smiled, as he wants to start a new career in endurance, on circuits of this world. “But we will try to set up a date with Seb”, he added, delighted to have experienced “such a great fight since Thursday”, on the roads of Monte-Carlo. Both Sebs are now on equal terms in the Principality: 8 wins each, including Ogier’s win during the IRC era, in 2009, in a Peugeot.

See you gentlemen in 2023 to settle the score, one more time!
