Formula E's Gen4 era is set to continue the beloved Peloton-style racing format, according to drivers Nyck de Vries and Dan Ticktum. The Gen4 prototypes, which will replace the current machines in the 2026-27 season, will bring about a new sporting format with differences in race durations. While sprint races are expected to be shorter and more intense, the feature races will maintain the characteristic peloton-style action that fans have come to love.
De Vries explained that the sprint race will have a smaller energy saving element, rewarding a strong qualifying session, while the feature race will be more peloton-style and transferable from Gen3 to Gen4. However, the exact details of the new format are still to be confirmed.
