Competition history

Development

In July 2020 it was announced that Spark Racing Technology would build the chassis and supply the front axles, Williams Advanced Engineering would supply the batteries, and Hankook would supply all-weather tires that incorporate bio-material and sustainable rubber.[1]

Specifications

The estimated top speed will be set at 322 km/h (200 mph).[2] The battery will also be designed to be able to handle "flash-charging" at rates of up to 600 kW (800 hp),[3] allowing pitstop recharging into the championship for the first time.[4] The wheelbase is 2,970 mm (117 in) and the weight is 760 kg (1,680 lb).[5] The power:weight ratio is therefore roughly equivalent to a Audi RS5 Turbo DTM.
