New venues this season include Seoul, Jakarta, and the London circuit, which runs inside the Excel London exhibition center. Fourteen races will be held in 12 cities, with the final double-header round taking place in London. The Nissan e.dams team welcomes back its two drivers, Sebastien Buemi and Oliver Rowland, for the new season which begins next month in Saudi Arabia. As part of the celebration, Ferrari ran a tribute livery using the traditional rosso corsa burgundy red, a callback to the first livery the team ran in the 1950 season. “We used our iconic Nissan racing red, black and white colors layered diagonally in a kimono pattern, which creates a dynamic and powerful impression.” Last season, Formula 1 arrived in Mugello and the Scuderia was the centre of attention and taking part in its 1000th Formula 1 championship grand prix. “As we approach the beginning of our second season of Formula E competition, our design team proposed a new look, one that celebrates our Japanese heritage and vibrant technology DNA,” said Alfonso Albaisa, Nissan’s senior vice president for global design. A good livery doesn’t win a race (if anything, deviating to a one-off design has a tendency to curse rather than bless a car’s performance) but it’s the image that gets seared in the minds of fans young and old as drivers dice on track to win the hearts of millions. The design is the result of an in-house effort where Nissan asked 40 of its designers to submit concepts for the upcoming season, where the car will also feature an updated powertrain that replaces the successful, yet controversial, dual electric-motor system from season five. Liveries represent perhaps one of the emotive and subjective aspects of motor racing. And white design, inspired by the traditional garment, which is a symbol of longevity and good fortune. Revealed in the Japanese city of Yokohama, the team’s new race car features a red, black.
