Component distributor, Mouser Electronics cheered on the DRAGON / PENSKE AUTOSPORT Formula E team as it headed to the German capital, Berlin for rounds 7 & 8 of the 2021–22 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship racing season on May 14 & 15.
The weekend-long event of all-electric racing took place at the historic Tempelhof Airport. The large, apron-style track layout helped give fans extra excitement, with the drivers racing the traditional counter-clockwise on Saturday, before they shifted to a rare clockwise race on Sunday, providing a completely new challenge for the second race. Sérgio Sette Câmara piloted the No. 7 Penske EV-5 car, while Antonio Giovinazzi was at the helm of the No. 99 car at the Berlin E-Prix. The next Formula E race takes place in Jakarta on June 4, 2022.
Since 2015, Mouser and valued connector manufacturer, Molex have been proud partners of the DRAGON / PENSKE AUTOSPORT team. Joining them for the 2021–22 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship racing season are component distributor, TTI, Inc. and component manufacturer, KYOCERA AVX.
The Formula E series features cars that are powered solely by electricity and represent a vision for the future of the motorsports industry, serving as a framework for research & development around zero-emission motoring. The Gen2 cars offer a huge step forward in electric vehicle (EV) racing technology, with maximum power of 250 kW and speeds up to 280 km/h.
Formula E and FIA unveiled the new Gen3 cars before April’s Monaco E-Prix. The Gen3 cars, slated to debut in the 2022–2023 season, bring together leading-edge technologies to focus on merging sustainability and high performance. With a top speed of over 322 km/h and new front and rear drivetrains with a combined power of 600 kW, the next-gen car promises an even more exciting spectacle in Season 9.
Racing is all about speed and endurance, and racing partnerships are an innovative way for Mouser to communicate its performance-driven business model and promote the newest technologies from its manufacturer partners.
