The final week of November saw Formula E launch a short-form episodic documentary series called ‘Formula E: Unplugged’: a 15-episode, 15-minute film series which takes viewers through Season 7 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
The videos reveal all that it takes to deliver elite international motorsport against the backdrop of challenges imposed by the global pandemic and all episodes are available to view for free on Formula E’s YouTube and Facebook pages.
The films enable viewers and series’ fans to learn how the drivers, engineers, team crews and executives push to the limit during Formula E’s first season as an official motorsport FIA World Championship.
The videos start with the season opener in Diriyah (Saudi Arabia) and build to a climax in Berlin (via Rome, Valencia, Monaco, Puebla, New York and London ) and the ‘Formula E: Unplugged’ cameras capture all of the highs and lows and the challenges of life in the Formula E paddock, inside the garages and the home factories and on the move between circuits.
Episode 1, titled ‘The Start Of A New Era > Formula E Unplugged’, was posted on 22 November.
“Formula E: Unplugged offers an honest and unfiltered look behind the scenes at Formula E during its first campaign as an FIA World Championship. It’s about the people who make up our sport, with a spotlight on their stories from a unique season in motorsport,” commented Formula E Chief Media Officer Aarti Dabas. “Whether viewers are long-time fans of Formula E, motorsport followers curious about electric racing, or simply intrigued to find out more about our world, Formula E: Unplugged will offer a new perspective on our teams and drivers as they navigate the season on and off the track.”
