António Félix da Costa, the 2019-20 Champion.

The 2019–20 FIA Formula E Championship was the sixth season of the FIA Formula E championship, a motor racing championship for electrically powered vehicles recognised by motorsport's governing body, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), as the highest class of competition for electric open-wheel racing cars.

On 13 March, Formula E and the FIA announced a temporary suspension of the season in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] During the suspension, Formula E organised an esports racing series called Formula E Race at Home Challenge. The season resumed and concluded in August with six races within nine days at the Tempelhof Airport Street Circuit.

The season's champion was António Félix da Costa who clinched his first title with two races left. DS Techeetah became team champions for the second time in a row.[2]

Team changes

  • Porsche joined the grid as a new entry.[25]
  • The Mercedes-Benz EQ Formula E Team entered the championship while HWA, which had run customer Venturi powertrains as HWA Racelab in the previous season, are running Mercedes' trackside operations.[14]
  • Venturi switched to Mercedes powertrains, effectively ending their run as manufacturers.[30]
  • The Nio team was sold to Lisheng Racing,[44] but will continue under the NIO brand.[6] The team is not using its own powertrains and it instead acquired last year's powertrain from GEOX Dragon.[11][10]

Three ePrix were taken off of the calendar. The Swiss ePrix was taken off as the 2019 Swiss ePrix was run as a one-time event.[56] The Monaco ePrix was removed from the calendar as the race only happens every other year. The Hong Kong ePrix was originally due to take place but it was replaced with the Marrakesh ePrix due to the 2019–20 Hong Kong protests.[51] The season started a month earlier than the 2018–19 season - November instead of December - with the opening round, the Diriyah ePrix, taking place as a double-header with one race on the Friday and another on the Saturday.[57]

The New York City, Paris, Rome, Sanya, London and the inaugural Jakarta and Seoul ePrix had been due to take place but were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][54][55][58][59][60][52][53] In their place six ePrix were scheduled across three different layouts at the Tempelhof Airport Street Circuit between 5–13 August.[61]

Regulation changes

Technical regulations

  • The usage of twin motors was banned.[62]
  • The Attack Mode power was increased by 10 kW, from 225 kW to 235 kW.[63]
  • Drivers are no longer allowed to activate the Attack Mode during Full-Course Yellow and Safety Car periods.[63]
  • For each minute spent under Full Course Yellow or Safety Car conditions, 1 kWh is subtracted from the total available energy measured from the point at which the race was neutralised.[63]

Sporting regulations

  • During a race suspension, the countdown clock now stops, unless otherwise announced by the Race Director, with the aim of completing the full race time.[64]
  • The fastest driver in the group qualifying stage is awarded one championship point.[64]
