  • The Sustainable Electric Motorsport of the 21St Century
    EC8.19 October 4, 2019 To: Chair and Members of the Economic and Community Development Committee: Re: Exploring the potential opportunity of Toronto becoming a host city of Formula E: the sustainable electric motorsport of the 21st century Dear colleagues, I am writing to request that we explore the potential to bring FormulaE to the City of Toronto. Formula E was conceived in 2011 by FIA (International Automobile Federation) President and former Scuderia Ferrari General Manager Jean Todt and Spanish businessman Alejandro Agag as the world's first all-electric international car racing platform. The first race was held in Beijing's Olympic Park in 2014, and has grown into a global entertainment brand with 11 teams and 22 drivers. There are multiple major international corporate sponsors and 9 global automobile manufacturers are engaged; including Jaguar, Nissan, BMW, Audi, DS (Peugeot), and Mahindra. Formula E describes its venue metropolises as being the 'most progressive' cities in the world, and they include New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Seoul, Jakarta, Rome, and Mexico City, among others. Formula E markets itself as a cutting edge catalyst to propel the latest electric vehicle design and research work, as well as improving driving experiences for everyday car users of all classes and types, all while providing incredible entertainment. As the capital city of North America's top auto-producing region with over 2.2 million vehicles assembled in 2017, Toronto has long benefited from the economic activity, employment, and tax revenue generated by the automobile sector. Over 200 companies in southern Ontario are developing autonomous vehicle technology, with our automobile sector employing over 100,000, and generating almost 20% of manufacturing GDP.

  • The Role of Electric Motorsport in the Sustainable Mobility Transition
    The Role of Electric Motorsport in the Sustainable Mobility Transition Master Thesis – Master Sustainable Business and Innovation Author: Bram Weggemans Student Number: 6942857 Email Address: [email protected] Supervisor: Dr. Matthijs Punt Second Reader: Dr. Toon Meelen Date: 30-06-2021 Course: SBI-Master’s Thesis Word Count: 19940 Abstract Electric vehicles (EVs) are perceived as a viable technology for the replacement of combustion engine vehicles for a transition towards a more sustainable mobility system. Transition theory emphasizes that development of sustainable technologies such as EVs can be achieved within niches, which are protective spaces that shield sustainable technologies from mainstream market selection pressures. An interesting environment that has generally been known for innovative developments with regard to mobility has recently seen an increased usage of EVs. This environment is the motorsport. This paper therefore aims to identify the role that the electric motorsport as niche plays in the development of EVs for a transition towards a more sustainable mobility system. In order to fulfil this aim, a qualitative research approach was used where both semi-structured interviews and grey literature was analysed. The electrification of certain categories of the FIA World Rallycross Championship as well as the Extreme E were selected to exemplify the entire electric motorsport. The protective space conceptualisation of Smith and Raven (2012) that focuses on shielding, nurturing and empowering processes was used to conduct the analysis and describe the electric motorsport as a niche. The analysis showed that the electric motorsport as niche shows great capabilities of making contributions towards the development of EVs, but currently is not utilised to this potential.

  • Formula E, Brembo Unique Supplier to Increased Teams Equips 24 Electric Cars in New Season
    FORMULA E, BREMBO UNIQUE SUPPLIER TO INCREASED TEAMS EQUIPS 24 ELECTRIC CARS IN NEW SEASON The global leader in braking systems supplies all 12 teams in the Championship with bespoke calipers and carbon discs & pads through Spark Racing Technology Stezzano (Italy), 18 November 2019 – Brembo, a global leader in braking systems, reaffirms its leading role in the FIA Formula E Championship as the sole supplier of the entire braking system in season six (2019/2020) through constructor Spark Racing Technology, the sole supplier of the Gen2 single-seater chassis. In this sixth edition of the FIA Formula E, Brembo increases its commitment thanks to the entry of a 12th team, which means that a total of 24 cars are equipped with the Italian company’s entire braking system. Supplying such a number of teams simultaneously in a single four-wheel championship is a record challenge for Brembo’s history in motorsport. The new season of the main world championship for electric cars will kick-off with the double opening race at the Diriyah E- Prix in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to run November 22-23. Following its entry last year in the FIA Formula E and this year in the FIM MotoE World Cup, Brembo consolidates its presence in the arena of electric motorsport. Brembo uses this arena as a laboratory to study and develop technologies that in the future could be employed to stop electric road vehicles. For the FIA Formula E Championship, Brembo has designed a bespoke braking system for the Spark Racing Technology Gen2 single-seater, which includes discs, calipers, pads, bells and tandem master cylinder.

    Brembo: the Choice of Racing Champions in 2019 Brembo equipped teams win in F1, Formula E, Le Mans, IMSA, MotoGP and MotoE Stezzano, 9th December 2019 – Brembo, leader in high performance braking systems, reaffirms its leadership in Motorsport thanks to winning championships around the world in 2019. In Formula 1, where Brembo has been a supplier since 1975, all the 21 Grand Prix races in the current season have been won by cars equipped with Brembo components. The Bergamo-based company can boast victories in 425 Grand Prix out of 1,018 throughout the history of Formula 1 (from 1950 to today). A total of 25 Drivers World Championships and 29 Constructors World Championships won with the top teams. In 2019, Brembo scored significant results on two-wheels as well in the top class of MotoGP. For the fourth consecutive season the company supplied all the teams, reaching 500 victories overall. Specifically, the 28 riders who raced at least once in MotoGP this year have relied on the high level of performance and safety guaranteed by Brembo components: brake calipers, discs, brake and clutch master cylinders and pads.

After winning the manufacturers’ title last season, the drivers’ title that last went to Audi in 2013 is to be recaptured this year. In the fierce competition with BMW and Mercedes-Benz, Audi Sport relies on time- tested and familiar assets: the same three teams, the same eight drivers and exactly the same Audi RS 5 DTM that at the end of 2014 was the car to be beaten.
