LONDON, UK (August 13, 2018) Firstly, Formula E has teamed-up with Central Saint
Martins. That’s cause they are a world-famous arts and design college. Most noteworthy,
there is a challenge now for FIA Formula E. Therefore, this is for some of the most
creative and creative young minds. That’s because there is a challenge to develop
a new set of trophies for the ABB FIA Formula E Championship.

Furthermore, the electric street racing series worked with product design graduates.
Yes, from a highly acclaimed arts school. More noteworthy, this school is a constituent
college of the University of the Arts London. Consequently, this is in a bid to 
invent bespoke trophies. Thereby those trophies are to visually capture and resemble
the unique identity of Formula E.

More importantly, they had a wide brief with plenty of scope for inspiring imagination.
That is when the graduates presented their ideas and prototypes. So, they came up
with four designs. These were as a result progressing to the last stage. All the
while in front of a judging panel of Formula E representatives.

Therefore, it was the eye-catching layered design of Swedish-born graduate Ellen
Nyqvist. Ellen is the one who devised the winner’s trophy. More importantly, the
trophy is to be handed to the winning driver of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship.

As well and along the mixture of colours and curves. So the trophy has a piece of
original prose inscribed along the edge of the gold track. It’s composed by the 
designer. All to encapsulate significantly the award and its place in history. Yes
lasting, timeless and forever being remembered as a champion.

#### Prize Offer

So the last designs assembled and produced by Special EFX Ltd.  Adding to the prizes
on offer, the dynamic design of fellow Central Saint Martins graduate Sarunas Plyskaitis
chosen for the trophies to be presented after the checkered flag falls at each race.

single-seater class in motorsport. [Formula E brings intense and unpredictable racing](https://greenlivingguy.com/2026/07/ds-formula-e-race-recap-a-lesson-in-momentum/)
to some of the world’s most recognisable and progressive cities – including Hong
Kong, Rome, Paris, Zürich and New York.

### Gen2 Car

Formula E enters a new and exciting era in season five with the competitive début
of the next generation car. The striking new model boasts a distinctive futuristic
design and demonstrates a clear step-up performing almost double the energy storage
capacity. As well, allowing teams and drivers to complete a full race distance at
higher speeds without needing to swap cars. So big. So so big.

Therefore, the Gen2 car is a testament to the ongoing advancements in battery and
electric vehicle technology in the space of only four years.

#### Conclusion

In addition, the fifth edition of the ABB FIA [Formula E Championship](https://greenlivingguy.com/2015/03/fia-launches-road-safety-pledge-for-drivers/)
will see 11 teams and 22 drivers. All tackle a variety of challenging circuits in
12 cities across five continents. Racing in a bid to be champion. Formula E will
be making its début in the Middle East on December 15 for the season-opener in Ad
Diriyah, with the championship once again coming to a close in New York City over
the course of two days on July 13 & 14.

The concept of Formula E is to act as a platform to test and develop road-relevant
technologies, helping refine the design and functionality of components and infrastructure–
actively speeding-up the transition and uptake of electric vehicles on a global 
scale.

#### Conclusion

Formula E is continuing to attract some of the leading names and renowned brands
in motorsport and the automotive industry. For this season, Formula E has nine manufacturers
on its roster. That’s including Nissan. Also taking over the existing entry from
Renault and BMW. Both linking-up with Andretti. This number will rise further. However
with the highly anticipated inclusion of Mercedes-Benz and Porsche in season six.
