Giving competitors the opportunity to unlock their racing potential and get themselves into the virtual hot-seat by joining opening qualifying sessions and races.

Dawid Mroczek ended up taking home gold, closely followed by Risto Kappet and Manuel Biancollila.’

A Trophy with E-xtra Style

The all new Formula E award was created in solid aluminium and plated in polished 24ct Gold Plate, Nickel & 18ct Rose Gold Plate to celebrate the top 3 racers in first, second and third place for this exciting championship. ‘All 3 Sim Racers loved the trophy designs, with the new Formula E ‘torque e’ design it gives a flowing look that invites movement. They look minimalistic and sleek.’
