  • 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.

  • A Successful Day for Formula E and Michelin in the Principality of Monaco!
    MEDIA INFORMATION 2016/2017 FIA Formula E Championship ePrix of Monaco – 5th round A successful day for Formula E and Michelin in the Principality of Monaco! The second Monaco ePrix took place today in idyllic ideal weather conditions, allowing the crowd of almost 20,000 spectators to enjoy a quality of racing worthy of the Principality’s reputation as a longstanding home of topflight motorsport. Grid order was always going to play a key role around the 1.76km street circuit, as Stéphane Sarrazin (Venturi Formula E Team) explained at his team’s press conference on Friday: “It’s never easy to overtake at Monaco so it is essential to qualify in the best possible start position if you want to stand a chance of winning.” Track action kicked off early this morning with a free practice session that was marked by a number of accidents and tangles. As expected, qualifying turned out to be a fiercely-fought affair, with several drivers topping the order before Jean-Eric Vergne (TECHEETAH), Maro Engel (Venturi Formula E Team), Sébastien Buemi (Renault-e.dams), Nelson Piquet Jr (NEXTEV NIO) and Lucas Di Grassi (ABT Schaeffer Audi Sport) reached the final super- pole shootout phase, involving one flying lap each, one at a time. Sébastien Buemi – who topped the championship standings prior to the visit to Monaco on 76 points – was accredited with the best effort (53.313s) and he was joined on the grid’s front row by second-placed Lucas Di Grassi (+0.237s). The Monaco ePrix started at 4pm local time after a star-studded grid walk which included such international celebrities as the British model and actress Naomi Campbell, the president of the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile) and his wife Michelle Yeoh, another actress.

  • FULLY ELECTRIC FIA FORMULA E CHAMPIONSHIP RETURNS to FS1 with MONACO Eprix
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Erik Arneson, FOX Sports Thursday, May 11, 2017 [email protected] FULLY ELECTRIC FIA FORMULA E CHAMPIONSHIP RETURNS TO FS1 WITH MONACO ePRIX Formula E is a ‘Statement Series’ Creating a Platform for the Development of Technologies that Can Benefit the World CHARLOTTE, NC – The fully electric Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) Formula E Championship, now in its third season, returns to FS1 on Saturday, May 13 (11:30 AM ET) with versatile motor sports broadcaster Bob Varsha hosting coverage from the Monaco ePrix. After defending Formula E champion Sebastien Buemi got off to a perfect start to the season, winning the championship’s first three events, the points race got a lot tighter and a little more interesting after Lucas Di Grassi’s bold victory in Mexico City trimmed Buemi’s lead to just five points heading into Monaco. The 1.097-mile, 12-turn Monaco ePrix circuit is a shortened version of the familiar Grand Prix course, as the Formula E version takes a hard right at Ste Devote rather than carrying on up the hill to Monte Carlo. From here, drivers run along the marina to the Nouvelle Chicane, where they make the hard right to rejoin the GP layout at the chicane at the exit of the tunnel. The remainder of the circuit follows the traditional route around the Swimming Pool, through Rascasse and Antony Noghes and back to the start/finish straight. Varsha, who will be joined by Martin Haven and Nicki Shields, with analysis from driver Mike Conway, offers insight into where Formula E fits on the motor sports spectrum and what we can look for this weekend from Monaco on FS1: FOX SPORTS: Monaco – like Le Mans, Daytona and Indianapolis, is synonymous with racing, so how important is it for Formula E to win over this city and its racing-knowledgeable fans long term and does racing in Monaco add to interest in Formula E? VARSHA: The Formula E mission is to demonstrate the potential of clean electric power in the form of motorsports entertainment in major cities, where emissions-free mobility is most needed.

    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.

    May 2015 1st volume Number 006 eNews Monte Carlo madness: Buemi wins again Prestige ePrix: Who was able to impress the most? On the road to redemption: Nelson Piquet Jr. Formula E prepares for Berlin and Moscow Editorial | 01 THE WIND OF CHANGE IT is this time of the year again: the trees in Berlin are finally green, you are constantly woken up by birds sin- ging at 7am and the weather cannot decide between blessing you with the most wonderful sunshine outside of Miami or ruining any kind of outdoor plans of yours with a massive thunderstorm. This can only mean one Part II: Berlin thing: it‘s spring. Out: 18/05/2015 Spring is the time of change and after some changes in the office lately, e-racing.net also changed a lot over the past few weeks. We decided for a fresh new start and appear in a com- pletely new look now. Most importantly, we made the decision to go green. Following the design idea we will also expand our coverage on sustainability and business. Our big relaunch goes hand in hand with a small change in Editor-in-chief Antonia Grzelak eNews which concerns the release date. To provide you with the most up-to-date information and a balanced coverage in the magazine we decided to release eNews on every second Mon- day of the month starting now. The release dates for the eNews Special therefore also change to the Monday right before the ePrix which should still give you enough time to enjoy the in- depth guides to the hosting cities Berlin, Moscow and London.

  • High Performance from the MICHELIN Pilot Sport EV Tyre in the Streets of Monaco
    MEDIA INFORMATION Monaco, May 9, 2015 2014/2015 FIA FORMULA E CHAMPIONSHIP Monaco ePrix High performance from the MICHELIN Pilot Sport EV tyre in the streets of Monaco The inaugural Monaco saw victory go to pole-winner Sébastien Buemi (e.dams-Renault) who, along with his rivals, provided the 18,000 spectators in the Principality with a highly entertaining show. The only man who succeeded in putting any pressure on the Swiss driver was Audi Sport ABT’s Lucas di Grassi. The Brazilian ended up in second place after opting to change his strategy to keep him safe from the assaults of compatriot Nelson Piquet Jr (NEXTEV TCR) who collected third place. Formula E’s visit to Monaco was a highly symbolic occasion. Like the first grand prix to be hosted by the Principality, back on April 14, 1929, it represented a landmark date for motor racing fans. It also served to showcase the exceptional performance of the 18-inch MICHELIN Pilot Sport EV tyre developed specially for the championship’s high-tech, electrically-powered single-seater cars. Over the years, Michelin has reaped a high number of successes in the Principality, from the World Rally Championship’s Rallye Monte-Carlo to the more recent alternative energy events and, today, the FIA’s all-electric Formula E series. Michelin uses motorsport as a laboratory to develop innovative new technologies. At the same time, it works with a long list of prestigious partners to develop tailor-engineered tyre solutions for their ultra-high-performance road cars, such as the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Porsche 918 Spyder, Mercedes AMG SLS Black Series and Chevrolet Corvette C7 which are all fitted as original equipment with specially tailored MICHELIN Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres that meet the specific characteristics of each model.
