We live in a social, mobile world.
Don’t let it slow down.
The world is changing. An appreciation of our finite resources and the impact we have whilst using them is well documented. Sustainability is not only the phrase of the moment, but the mantra of tomorrow. As one world together, we must shift our habits and generate change.
The car very much part of this. An alternative fuel source must replace the fossil fuel technology we have known since Karl Benz launched his automobile in 1885.
To celebrate and demonstrate this new chapter in the story of the car, Formula E Holdings will be creating a breathtaking, captivating and unique event that retains enough of what we know and love about cars and racing, but challenges the community to participate and interact with it.
It’s time to go racing;
and this time, it’s electrifying.
The event’s key attraction points can be triangulated. This dynamic motor racing event will mean different things to different people.
From the city mayor to a hopeful child, the event will capture imaginations, release potential, raise debate and carry the sustainable message.
It is built around the Three Es paradigm, where there are three key elements that combine to make it relevant: firstly the source of Energy that powers these vehicles, secondly the Environmental issues at the heart of modern mobility and consumption and thirdly, the cutting edge Entertainment, on and off track that we create.
All of this will be presented against a colourful backdrop of a dynamic host city.

2010 was the first time global
investments in renewable energy
surpassed investments in fossil fuels.
An energy system which cannot create
a hopeful future is finished. Even if it
represents 80% of the world's energy
supply up till now.
Global computer servers
use more electricity than
France. About half of this
goes to waste - enough to
power Australia.
Every dollar put into clean energy creates three times as many jobs as putting that same dollar into oil and gas.

We can break our dependence on oil… and become the first country to have one million electric vehicles on the road by 2015
