The inaugural standings 4 FACT SHEET XXL FIA FORMULA E 2014 At home in the motorsport world FIA Formula E is the new element in Schaeffler’s portfolio of motorsport commitments. The company has a successful track record in other categories spanning several years – in top-flight racing as well as in promoting young talent Baja 1000 is regarded as the world’s toughest off-road race. The loads acting on vehicle components are greater there than anywhere else. The event is an ideal test bed for the components from Schaeffler. The company supports Team All German Motorsports with rally legend Armin Schwarz. The AGM Trophy Truck sports the conspicuous Schaeffler graphics and is shown here meeting with Mike Rockenfeller’s DTM car on the Nordschleife of the Nürburgring. BAJA Covering 5,000 kilometers on a single day – in the pinnacle event of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), the WEC Le Mans 24 Hours, maximum demands are made on the cars – a standard that Schaeffler equally applies to its production technologies. That’s why the WEC commitment with races in Europe, South America, the USA and Asia is such a perfect fit. Schaeffler’s partner is the sports car manufacturer Porsche that in 2014 celebrated its return to the top category of what is arguably the world’s most famous auto race. Schaeffler in international motorsport 5 FORMULA STUDENT The world is becoming increasingly complex, and so are the solutions to future challenges. That’s why it’s particularly important for tomorrow’s engineers to start learning how to transfer ideas and innovations as part of their studies. Therefore, Schaeffler partners with Formula Student. The things being practiced here on a small scale are exactly the same ones Schaeffler does on a large scale. DTM Schaeffler has been involved in the most popular international touring car series for years. In 2011, the company extended its presence and began to give its name to one of the cars of Audi Sport Team Phoenix. The success was overwhelming: Martin Tomczyk (2011) and Mike Rockenfeller (2013) in the green-yellow Schaeffler Audi each celebrated winning the drivers title, which BAJA makes them the company’s fastest ambassadors. 6 FACT SHEET XXL FIA FORMULA E 2014 Shaping mobility for tomorrow Sustaining mobility for the future and helping to successfully shape it – this is the strategy pursued by Schaeffler.

  • Understanding the Place-Specific Formation Processes of Sustainable Urban Experiments a Mixed Method Comparative Case Study of Formula E
    Master’s thesis - master Innovation Sciences Understanding the place-specific formation processes of sustainable urban experiments A mixed method comparative case study of Formula E July 27, 2021 Author: Marius Roeterdink, BSc Student number: 5673127 Contact: [email protected] Supervisor: Dr. J. Hoekman Second reader: Dr. ir. J.C.L Torrens Master’s Thesis – Master Innovation Sciences GEO4-2239X Faculty of Geosciences, Utrecht University 0 Place-specific formation processes of sustainable urban experiments Abstract Cities are increasingly recognized as frontrunners in the transition to a more sustainable society due to their assembly of technology, resources, population, culture, and economics. This is, amongst others, visible from a global increase in urban actors collaborating to experiment with new sustainable configurations. These so-called sustainable urban experiments, embedded in a broader niche, are not confined to a specific spatial context but will rather emerge in complex ‘place bundles’, forming a global niche. However, the formation of a global niche is interrelated with local experimentation and is thereby locally rooted. A prime example is sustainable motorsports experiment Formula E. Formula E operates on a global scale with numerous multinational companies involved but is set in urban environments and the local regional context arguably influences the formation of such events. In other words, Formula E is a global sustainable urban experiment which is locally embedded. Considerable variation in the way a sustainable urban experiment is formed locally is likely to exist. The objective of this study was to complement strategic niche management and sustainable transitions literature by understanding the specific place-specific factors under which global sustainable urban experiments are formed.

  • Argentina Extends a Warm Welcome to Formula E …And the MICHELIN Pilot Sport EV Tyres Lap It Up
    MEDIA INFORMATION FIA FORMULA E CHAMPIONSHIP Buenos Aires ePrix Argentina extends a warm welcome to Formula E …and the MICHELIN Pilot Sport EV tyres lap it up Heat was an ever-present factor in the Buenos Aires ePrix. First of all, there was the warmth generated on a human level. The promoters had covered the city in posters, and the inhabitants of the Argentine capital duly responded. According to organisers’ reports, some 20,000 spectators filled the grandstands. Motorsport fans, families and those who were merely curious about the event were rewarded with a breathless spectacle, which took place beneath a blazing sun and in ambient temperatures of 30°C. Indeed, it was the sun that was the catalyst for the second kind of heat – that which could be felt in the air and emanating from the circuit’s asphalt. Transformed into a furnace with its surface exceeding 50°C, the Buenos Aires ePrix track put men, machines and Michelin’s tyres to an extremely stern test. In such a demanding situation, the drivers pushed themselves to the limit. Following the two free practice sessions, qualifying took place at midday. Switzerland’s Sébastien Buemi (e.dams- Renault) claimed pole position courtesy of his lap time of 1:09.134 in Q1, with Q2 pace-setter Jamie Alguersuari a scant 27 thousandths-of-a-second adrift for Virgin. Venturi’s Nick Heidfeld completed the top three after stopping the clocks in Q3 with a time of 1:09.367, narrowly seeing off the second Virgin entry of Sam Bird. The Q4 group did not affect the leading positions.

  • Presentation 2017
    2017 INTRODUCTION Felix Rosenqvist is a Swedish racing driver, competing in the 2016-17 FIA Formula E Championship with Mahindra Racing. He is the 2015 FIA Formula 3 European champion. Felix Rosenqvist is the only driver in the history of Formula 3 to have won each of the accolades that make up the category’s “grand slam”: the European Championship (2015), the Grand Prix de Pau (2014), the Masters of Formula 3 (twice in 2011 and 2013) and the blue- riband Macau Grand Prix (twice in 2014 and 2015). In 2016, Rosenqvist dovetailed race-winning campaigns in the American Indy Lights series and Europe’s Blancpain GT Series Sprint Cup, while simultaneously racing in the top-level DTM touring car series with Mercedes-AMG. He also conducted a successful test in the Verizon IndyCar Series, America’s leading single-seater championship. Towards the end of 2016, Rosenqvist entered the Formula E arena after signing for Mahindra Racing, with the first round of the 2016-17 season taking place in Hong Kong on October 9. On his series debut, he set the fastest lap of the race, before going on to claim a headline- grabbing maiden pole position and podium in only his second start in the championship in Marrakesh, Morocco. 2017 sees Felix Rosenqvist intensify his pursuit of a maiden Formula E victory. He remains part of the Mercedes-AMG family.

The fifthrace – or ePrix - takes place on Saturday, March 14 2014, in Miami, USA, on a temporary circuit along Biscayne Bay and around the AmericanAirlines Arena. The inaugural season runs from September 2014 to June 2015, competing in some of the world's leading cities including London, Beijing, Moscow and Miami. For the inaugural season, 10 teams, each with two drivers, go head-to-head creating a uniQue and exciting racing series designed to appeal to a new generation of motorsport fans, whilst also helping to promote sustainability.
