Following the release of the provisional calendar for the Season 9 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship yesterday, local promoter e-Movement is adamant that a race will be staged in Cape Town in 2023.  

The new Gen 3 era for Formula E will see the likes of Maserati and McLaren joining a strong manufacturer entry list, with the season set to kick-off in Mexico City in January followed by a double-header in Diriyah, then a trip to Hyderabad (India). 

The world championship will then travel to three ‘to be decided’ destinations, with Cape Town expected to host it’s maiden Formula E race on 25 February 2023, with Sanya to follow in the second “TBD” calendar slot.

Earlier this year, e-Movement (the local organiser) formally launched the proposed Cape Town e-Prix layout, and formally confirmed that there are contracts and agreements in place with the Formula E organisation.

Whilst the Mother City currently does not feature on the first draft of the Season 9 calendar, the local organisers, and Formula E Co-Founder Alberto Longo are rather confident that Cape Town will be included in the final calendar, which is set to be issued by the World Motor Sport Council in September. 

“The Formula E race delivery team just spent three days in Cape Town alongside race promoter E-Movement and reported positive progress in key areas. Road construction for the track has commenced, and other important infrastructure requirements and negotiations are close to completion,” Formula E Co-Founder & Chief Championship Officer Alberto Longo said.

“The Formula E team is in daily contact with counterparts at E-Movement, the local race promoter, and the Formula E leadership team has complete line of sight on the project. We expect E-Movement to continue making positive progress which will result in the Cape Town E-Prix being confirmed when the provisional Season 9 calendar is finalised by the FIA this September”

“We started a journey in June 2019 to secure the rights to stage an E-Prix in Cape Town. Since achieving this objective, it has been all hands on deck to not only be in a position to deliver the race as part of Season 9, but to also stage an E-Fest the week prior to the race, which includes an E-mobility festival called ‘Electric’!, showcasing all things E, as well as ‘Africa’s Green Economy Summit’, which seeks to marry global capital with green economy opportunity in Africa” said e-Movement Chairman, Iain Banner.

“The upgrade of the Cape Town Stadium precinct based on a 2030 vision, includes the preparation of the FE race track, which construction is well underway. This work is scheduled to be completed by mid-December this year.”

Love it, or loathe it… Circuit racing has been around for centuries, whether it be on cordoned off roads or airfields. 

Through the years, the motor racing spectacle has not only entertained but captured the imagination of fans, and future stars. 

In recent years more disciplines have joined the likes of Extreme E, MotoE, Nitro Rallycross, etc. but one thing they all have in common is a defined course, a track or route. 

Circuits are designed per discipline, which means, the likes of MotoGP, Formula 1, WTCR, WEC, etc. would share the same venue, whilst Rallycross, Extreme E, Dakar, Motocross all have their own specific designed tracks. 

If you were to focus on Formula 1, the pinnacle of motorsport has many of it’s newer circuits designed by Hermann Tilke. Whilst the more historic circuits like Silverstone, the Hungaroring or Spa-Francorchamps were not designed by Tilke. 

Tilke designed circuits have a bit more run-off zones allowing for more disciplines to use them. 

Other motorport championships such as, Extreme E have their own method of designing a course/track. The newly formed championship (Extreme E) has two contracted “championship drivers”, Timo Scheider and Tamara Molinaro who design the course for the each event. Whilst the Dakar Rally shares similar characteristics being an off-road event, but the concept of route design is completely different, because a team would go into the Saudi Arabian desert to plot the layout for the two week event. 

So, with those differences explained, the FIA World Rallycross Championship is slightly different, as its a duel-surfance discipline meaning tarmac and dirt makes up the track. 

As, we know rallycross has a rich 54-year history with some of the most historic venues that capture that imagination of drivers’ and fans alike, a perfect example is the hill side, Hell track in Norway.  

But, why Norway? Well! The Scandinavian countries eat, sleep and breathe rallycross, with their most successful rallycross driver of all-time, Kenneth Hansen, (14-time European Rallycross Champion) hailing from Sweden. 

Petter Solberg, is another legend from Scandinavia. A two-time FIA World Rallycross, whilst his former team-mate Johan Kristoffersson, the most successful driver in the FIA championship having won four-titles to date. 

Scandinavia has some of the most historic rallycross circuits, the likes of Holjes, Hell and Arvika to name a few, but do they really comply with the FIA regulations? Some may not at first but in order to host an FIA regulated event changes need to be made. They could either be safety related or just small tweaks.

So, what are the regulations set out by the FIA Off-Road commission for track design(s)? Let’s take a look below:

CHAPTER 3. RALLYCROSS CIRCUITS

1. Characteristics

Length (measured along the centre-line of the

course) : minimum: 950m; maximum: 1400m.

Width: minimum: 10m; maximum: 25 m

2. Composition

Sealed surface (asphalt, concrete, etc.): between 35 % and 60 %.

The remainder unsurfaced (consolidated /stabilised earth or gravel). In addition to watering, anti-dust treatment is obligatory.

3. Gradients

Must not be steeper than 10 %.

4. Starts

There must be at least 100 m of straight from the starting line to the first bend. The starting grid will have a uniform surface of asphalt, tarmac, or concrete, this to continue for at least 30 metres after the starting line. The width of the track at the start line (minimum 14.50 metres) will be maintained up to and through the first bend, which must have a maximum radius of 25 metres and result in a change of direction of at least 45°; measurements will be calculated from the centreline of the course.

5. Marking

Should there be a deviation in the course (e.g. an artificial chicane included to reduce speeds), this must be marked in an obvious and entirely unmistakable way.

6. Joker lap

Characteristics:

Length: must be such that the time needed to cover a lap is at least 2 seconds longer than the best lap time achieved in Division 1. at least 2 sec longer than the time needed for the replaced distance of the circuit.

Width: minimum 10 m, maximum 12 m.

The entry and the exit cannot be on the racing line.

A safety protection, to separate the two roads, must be in place. At the exit it must be possible for the cars to have the same speed as on the traditional circuit.

A marshals’ post will be put in place if judged necessary for safety reasons.

An Approval by of the FIA circuit safety inspector is required.

With a more clearer idea of how circuits should be designed for the FIA World Rallycross Championship, there are a number of other factors and elements that need to be taken into account. 

So, in order to get a better understanding of this, we chat to the World RX Championship coordinator, Tim Whittington who will give us a bit more insight into track design. We also delve into a bit more detail regarding the switch to the electric championship this year. 

After a six-year stint as promoters of the championship, IMG stepped aside paving the way for Rallycross Promoter GmbH, who immediately made changes with new broadcasting portals, etc, but one of there biggest tasks would be managing the switch to electric power in 2022. 

So, what involvement does Rallycross Promoter GmbH have when it comes to circuit design? 

Tim Whittington: “The Promoter is almost always involved. It’s generally a question of sharing information and knowledge, trying to ensure that every new track is as good as it can be. (For detail, the Off-Road Commission does not approve circuits, this is the Circuits Commission and the Circuits/Safety dept at FIA).”

World Championship status means championships can travel to all corners of the globe, a scene last seen in 2017 when the FIA World Rallycross Championship traveled to all corners of the globe from the USA, to Africa and Europe.

How are new tracks designed? Is it based on facilities at hand or solely around the FIA regulations? Or is there a free reign element when it comes to designing a track for the world championship?

Whittington: “This really depends on the venue and varies quite a lot. Let’s take Cape Town as the example here, but many points are relevant to all new circuits. We need to achieve a track that meets the FIA regulations and which fits within the existing venue. It needs to be in a part of the venue that is good for spectators on-site and is going to create a good TV image. In Cape Town that very quickly became the T2, T3, T4 section of the Killarney circuit. It offered the space required, areas of infield that could accommodate the unsealed sections that would need to be added and gave the backdrop of Table Mountain so there was an immediate and obvious visual connection to the location.”

“Once those basic decisions had been made it was a question of designing a track that met the regulatory requirements, that was safe, which did not unnecessarily disrupt other activities at what is a busy race circuit and which could be built within a budget that allowed a viable business case for all parties involved.”

With an action-packed championship like World RX. Why are most of the circuits designed quite tightly? Meaning there is only one racing line, and once you're following it's difficult to make a pass or overtake. 

Can racing be improved by altering track design to allow more door-to-door racing in the future?

TW: “Rallycross Promoter is working with circuits, drivers and others to define how existing circuits can be changed to improve racing and how future newbuilds should be designed to encourage passing. We want circuits that provide great racing, encourage more passing and challenge the drivers.”

“Rallycross tracks are quite short, FIA regulations say between 800 and 1400m, circuits have generally been in this kind of range. Many of the traditional tracks in Europe date from the 1970s and 80s. Cars were smaller and technically less sophisticated then so there was more space on the track and because the cars were not as good, more difficult to drive, the drivers made mistakes more often. All of that made passing easier. The modern cars are outrageously good and, compared to cars from previous generations, easier to drive, so mistakes are much less frequent and drivers have more time to think about racecraft where in the past just keeping the car on the circuit was as much as many could do. We want to make the tracks more challenging to redress that balance.”

Many championships have their own historic tracks, Lydden Hill (UK) or Holjes (Sweden) for example. Each have their own rich history, so are any changes made to cater to the FIA championship? And, if so what changes are or can be made to them?

TW: “We want the racing to be better and are working with the existing venues to make changes.”

With a better understanding of circuit design and an understanding of how the championship aims to improve racing. The World RX championship has a number of high and low grip tracks. Are these characteristics decided by venue or championship promoters? 

TW: “The greatest difference in the circuits is the degree to which the unsealed surfaces have been stabilised. In most of the environments in which we race some form of stabilisation is necessary. It is also required by the current FIA regulations. We have tracks like Riga and the traditional French tracks which are heavily stabilised. There are also circuits which have a lower degree of stabilisation such as Montalegre or Estering. Many factors can influence the degree of stabilisation; materials available, cost of construction and ongoing maintenance, how the rallycross track fits within other activities at the venue, etc. The mix of surface types is important because it gives the different circuits their own identity and each presents its own challenge. The mix could probably be shifted to include more circuits with lower levels of stabilisation where we have the opportunity to do that.”

Curve ball time, which track on the current calendar presents the best action, and why?

TW: “I think all of the tracks have their good points and can offer some good racing even if none of them represent the ‘best possible’ rallycross track at the moment.”

I guess he’s going to keep quiet on that one. 

In the Americas, the Red Bull Global Rallycross Championship (GRC) was the very first rallycross championship, but it, unfortunately folded in 2018, which paving the way for the previous World RX rights holders IMG, to start an American based series, Americas Rallycross (ARX) it also folded after two-years.

2019 World Champion Timmy Hansen's ideal rallycross track layout.

In 2018, Rallycross joined the Nitro World Games and instantly made waves due to the "extreme" nature of the circuit designs and the close action-packed racing. 

World RX driver Timmy Hansen won the inaugural event. 

A few years later, Travis Pastrana announced the Nitro Rallycross Championship, which would see teams race at five unique circuits designed by himself. It went off without a hitch and produced some thrilling action. 

In 2019, we spoke to a number of World Rallycross drivers, and asked them to draw their ideal circuits. A number of them designed Nitro RX themed circuits with jumps and high banked corners. So, could we soon see similar Nitro Rallycross concepts in the FIA World Rallycross Championship calendar?

TW: “There are elements of the Nitro tracks which could be used within an FIA World Championship circuit, but also some that I do not think FIA would approve.”

The 2021 FIA World Rallycross Championship was the final season of internal combustion engines. So, with the move to electric power this year. Can fans expect to see circuit modifications to spice up racing?

TW: “We are working to introduce changes to circuits for the 2022 season, but that is not directly influenced by the switch to electric cars, and the new cars in themselves do not require changes.”

“A factor of the change of car that is likely to play a part in improving racing is that all cars will use the same powertrain kit, and so the differences between the cars will be reduced. Performance should be more even and racing closer.”

Having now learnt a bit more about track design, and what is allowed according to the regulations. We look forward to a thrilling new era in 2022. The championship will visit seven countries, including South Africa (tbc), with seven confirmed entries across four teams. Are you ready? Let’s go racing!

We would like to thank Tim Whittington, the FIA World Rallycross Championship co-ordinator for taking the time out of his very busy schedule to talk to us! 

Cape Town ePrix postponed due to the ongoing impact of Covid-19.

Cape Town's first Formula E race has been postponed to 2023 due to the ongoing impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic that continue to be felt in South Africa and internationally.

"While we are of course disappointed to postpone our first race in Cape Town, we have received a hugely positive response from those in our ecosystem, all of which are excited to visit. Over the past 18 months we have learnt to be dynamic and flexible when delivering the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship and we look forward to working alongside our local partners to experience Cape Town when delivering its maiden race in 2023," co-founder and Chief Championship Officer of Formula E Alberto Longo, said.

Formula E revealed a provisional calendar for its eighth season in early July, with South Africa set to make its debut alongside Vancouver and Seoul. However, due to the ongoing impacts of the coronavirus pandemic globally, Formula E and e-Movement (Pty) Ltd have agreed to postpone the city's inaugural race to 2023 pending FIA World Motor Sport Council confirmation (in 2022).

e-Movement (Pty) Ltd and Formula E entered into a multi-year agreement to host the world’s only all-electric FIA World Championship in 2021 and remain committed to delivering a world-class event. 

"We have signed a long-term agreement with Formula E to stage the Cape Town E-Prix and look forward to delivering a marquee event for many years to come," Iain Banner, the Chairman of race promoters e-Movement (Pty) Ltd, said. 

"Bringing the Formula E to South Africa has always been part of a broader vision to accelerate the transformation of the Cape and South Africa into an innovation hub that can drive the renewable energy and mobility transition across the continent and make sure it remains relevant and positioned to thrive over the next 50 years." 

Due to the postponement of the inaugural Cape Town ePrix, eMovement (Pty) Ltd has laid out its plans for 2022, including the track reveal and an e-Investment seminar to map out a 10-year program.

Cape Town Mayor Dan Plato said, “When we evaluated Formula E, we found that it fits the City of Cape Town’s objectives including job creation, entrepreneurial opportunities for locals, destination marketing, and massive economic impact."

"The City of Cape Town views Formula E as one of the key events that could go a long way in being catalyst in the long-term recovery as well as the sustainability of the events and tourism industries. We are committed to working with e-Movement to ensure that Cape Town is ready to host this exciting race event in 2023."

City of Cape Town plans to spend R44 million on infrastructure upgrades for Formula E

The City of Cape Town’s mayoral committee (Mayco) is calling on the Council to support the upcoming ABB FIA Formula E Championship event set to take place on 26 February 2022 around the Cape Town Stadium and Green Point Park. 

The FIA recently announced Cape Town as a new host city on its provisional FIA Formula E race calendar for the 2021/2022 season.

Cape Town has already demonstrated its capabilities in hosting major international motorsport events with the success of the FIA Rallycross Championship, the Extreme Festival National Championship (at Killarney), as well as the annual Drift City at the iconic Grand Parade.

"Over the last two years, we have been working hard behind the scenes within the administration and with the event organisers putting together all the requirements necessary to put together an event of this magnitude. Approval from council will allow us to begin the civil engineering works on the racetrack and ensure we can finalize all the logistics before the first-ever Formula E race on the African continent," Executive Mayor Alderman Dan Plato, said.

The proposed Formula E race track will be around the Green Point Park and Cape Town Stadium area(s).

"We have already had great engagements with local residents and ratepayers’ association who are fully behind this race event coming to Cape Town. This event will help Cape Town create job opportunities for residents, business opportunities for local entrepreneurs, the hospitality sector and benefit communities who are still feeling the economic effects of the pandemic," Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security Alderman JP Smith, said.

"The City notes the various issues raised by local civic and ratepayers associations around managing the events impact on residents during such a major event and these will be factored into the events approval."

Furthermore, the council has been requested to approve support for the road infrastructure updates required to host the Formula E event in 2021. These upgrades will cost approximately R44 million and will provide a long-term benefit to residents and reduce the need for future budget allocation to perform routine maintenance and upgrades in the future.

Plato's executive mayor delegation has also approved supporting the event with R2 million in cash to the event returning to the City for future races. A further R2 million will be provided in the form of services, on the above premise. 

Mayor Dan Plato admits that "the City’s contribution to this race event is dwarfed in comparison to the return on investment from hosting such an established international sporting event. In the three years that Formula E has been hosted in Hong Kong, it has contributed approximately R1,5 billion to that economy. This benefits a wide range of business in the event chain including manufacturing and service industries."

The ‘Mother City’ will host the all-electric ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in Season 8, with one of the seven wonders of nature, Table Mountain providing the backdrop for South Africa’s first-ever ePrix, around the streets of Cape Town. 

Formula E has been hosted on the African continent before in Morocco (Marakesh), but with the hard work of e-Movement together with their founding partner Jaguar South Africa and the City of Cape Town a date has been secured on the provisional calendar - 26 February 2022. 

e-Movement’s Iain Banner has revealed that Cape Town signed a five-year deal with the possibility to extend the deal for a further five years.

It's been a long time coming, but finally, after 29-years, an FIA World Championship single-seater racing series will return to the shores of South Africa, and it's Formula E! 

The Cape Town ePrix “will definitely lift our economy to a new heights” Cape Town Mayor, Dan Plato said. 

Plato has reassured e-Movement that the City of Cape Town will “roll out the red carpet” for the Formula E championships' arrival in 2022.

The ABB Formula E World Championship is slightly different from its combustion-engined counterparts, in that the series races on streets circuits which allows non-motorsport fans to access the race action. 

It also allows the series to race in cities that have air pollution restrictions as these cars are emission-free. 

The Cape Town ePrix track will route around the Mouille Point and around the Cape Town stadium and is anticipated to be one of the fastest circuits on the world series.

“The experts tell me that our track is probably going to be one of the fastest circuits on the Formula E calendar,” Banner said. “So we are going to see some very tight racing. And I think what people are seeing with Formula E is its dynamic.”

2019/20 ABB FIA Formula E World Champion Antonio Felix da Costa is excited by the prospects of racing around the Cape Town Stadium. 

"It's amazing to race around a World Cup stadium that's already I big thing for us, and I love Formula E because of that," Da Costa said. "I am sure that we are going to pull off an amazing event."

A long-term goal becomes reality, as Formula E heads to Cape Town.

Three years in the making… This evening, the FIA has announced the provisional calendar for the 2022 FIA Formula E Championship, and with it a date for a Cape Town ePrix. 

Whilst today’s announcement is provisional until approved by the FIA World Motor Sport Council, the Cape Town ePrix organizers have confirmed that despite a provisional date Formula E will be heading to the shores of Cape Town next year.

Over 20-years without any form of international motorsport events, there have been many rumours hinting at a potential Formula One return, but it’s just rumours. 

Since then, South Africa became a hive of interest, as Cape Town played host to the FIA World Rallycross Championship for three years (2017 to 2019), but due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The events in 2020 and 2021 will not be held in Cape Town.  

South Africa has another gem, it’s the Kyalami Grand Prix circuit, which was put up for auction and acquired by Porsche South Africa, but after some refurbishments and upgrades, the circuit received FIA Grade 2 certification and the rest is history. 

A few years later, talks were held with the SRO, and out of it came a long team deal to host the Intercontinental GT Challenge in South Africa, and the return of the “Kyalami 9 Hour”. 

With these international sporting events taking place on South African soil, more good news came when the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) announced that the series will head to South Africa in 2021. But once again, these plans were halted due to complications surrounding the pandemic. 

It’s yet to be seen if WEC and World RX will return to South Africa, the latter with a deal expiring in 2021. However, the future is bright for the African continent and it's just a matter of time before they return. 

Whilst the FIA World Endurance and World Rallycross Championships aren’t on the immediate agenda for South Africa, the news today means an FIA-sanctioned event will remain on South African soil. 

The e-XITEMENT is real, as the FIA Formula E Championship will be heading to the City of Cape Town in 2022. 

Formula E has grown from strength to strength since its inception in 2014 and has visited every continent including Africa, where the Marrakesh ePrix was held in Morocco.

So, when did talks begin to bring Formula E to Cape Town? Well in 2019, the Mayor of Cape Town, Dan Plato announced the official bid to host the FIA Formula E championship in Cape Town, further statements were made regarding the progress of the bid, but finally, the news has become official with the assistance of multiple partners making the Cape Town ePrix, a reality!

In recent years, motorsport broadcasts were moved behind paywalls, but in South Africa, it became a reality in 2006 when Formula 1 moved behind the SuperSport pay wall, where it has remained since. 

Since then, the national broadcaster SABC has played host to some international events, for example, A1 GP, etc. but since then a handful of national events were aired on free-to-air television. 

Moving international motorsport behind a paywall has had an impact on motorsport in the country, and a simple example: If you were to ask a South African. Who is Michael Schumacher? What team did he race for? Etc. They could correctly give you the answer. If you were to go out and ask any person on the streets who Lewis Hamilton is, for example, those with social media access would more or less have an idea, but the average joy with no access won’t have clue. 

Yes, Pay-TV has its positives and negatives, but a negative in the sense that people have to pay to view, whilst a positive in that there is a variety of motorsport to watch. So, either you pay to enjoy a variety of motorsport in South Africa, find a streaming platform (if you have access to the internet) or you go without it. 

So, with Formula E heading to Cape Town in 2022. What has been done to drum up excitement, support, and an understanding of the series in South Africa?

 Well, South African’s were able to view the inaugural seasons on live streams, whether it be on Facebook or YouTube, but the championships broadcast rights were soon sold to ESPN Africa, which meant coverage of the practice sessions were only made available through the live streams. 

Recently that changed, when E-movement’s Iain Banner approached South Africa’s SuperSport (Pay-TV service) and a broadcast deal with Formula E was struck. A few months later, the SABC also secured a deal and are now broadcasting the electrifying series on their free-to-air service across South Africa. 

Iain Banner, e-Movement Chairman explains, “to bring Formula E here, we need an audience that is knowledgeable. So, I'm delighted that I went to SuperSport and secured a deal. And over the last season and a half, the sport has been on SuperSport television. And of course, now the public broadcaster, the national broadcaster is carrying it, too. And that means we've got wall to wall coverage so that South Africans everywhere, from rural areas through to the metros can indulge and enjoy it and become knowledgeable.”

Establishing interest is essential to achieving success, and securing broadcast deals is the first step to building a fan base and interest in the sport. The next step would be a hands-on approach, for instance, something fans can see or touch. And, through hard work e-Movement will host an ‘eMobility Festival’ ahead of the inaugural race with an aim to drum up more interest in everything ‘electric.’

“It's a big leap bringing Formula E to Cape Town, which is what we have planned to do. So, we will have created an event ahead of that which we call the ‘eMobility Festival’, where we will showcase everything, the cars, one-wheelers, bicycles, aeroplane, boats, etc, plus the charging station,” Banner says. 

“An experience that the public can come and have but also gain and understanding. You’ll also get an e-Pass to come in. And once you're in, you can book an experience and go and experience everything.”

It’s all about the experience, so when the Formula E championship arrives in Cape Town, the ticket holders will have the opportunity to book a ride around the circuit in an e-machine. 

 “We're also going to have an e-rides on the circuits on the race weekend. You can apply to book a spot, certain hour slots where you'll be able to go and experience the track. But in an e-car,” Banner adds. 

Whilst gaining interesting and developing ways to attract fans to the spectacle, there are also important things to discuss or work together to try and solve. And, in saying this, e-Movement has also confirmed a climate change summit, as Iain Banner will explain below: 

“And then of course we have a climate change summit as well because the whole thing about Formula E is advocating for sustainability,” he said. “That's really at the core of it. So it's not just the excitement of the racing. It is actually about talking about how do we take care of this beautiful Mother Nature, the world, what you know, which we are destroying. What are we going to do to change things? How do we go green? What is the future? And those are the questions that get asked all the time. Which Formula E is trying to answer?"

With all that being said, we are thrilled to finally receive confirmation that the FIA Formula E Championship will soon head to Cape Town, and we can not wait!
