FORMULA CLUB-E
“I love Formula One, dearly. If I live for 100 years I will still love Formula One. But the world is going in the direction of electric, we don't know how long it will take but we have to make a change. It's not that we want to, it's almost mandatory.
If we continue like this for 100 years there will be no planet so basically there is no option.”Alejandro Agag, Formula E founder and CEO

THE VISIONAt the very pinnacle of the Motorsport world, Formula E is currently leading the way for the electric racing market. At the low budget end, Formula SAE electric has demonstrated that electric vehicles can dominate over their combustion-engined counterparts.
Currently, there are very few affordable electric racing cars, so there is a clear gap in the market.

DallaraAutomobili
Competing in all F3 championships around the world, Dallara is the sole supplier of cars to the IndyCar, Indy Lights, GP2, GP3, World Series by Renault and Japanese Super Formula championships.
Coupled with their experience of supplying the chassis for Formula E, Dallara’s impressive motorsport pedigree ideally places them to deliver an electric racing vehicle.
Mechanical Engineering & Mathematical sciences
Nestled in the heart of Motorsport Valley, 92% of our graduates go on to employment - many in F1, Formula E and major suppliers to the motorsport industry.
Oxford Brookes has an enviable reputation as the number one institution for Motorsport education, training the Automotive, Motorsport and Mechanical Engineers of the future.
Business School
The Business School provides strength in corporate, competitive & growth strategy, global business, international trade and foreign direct investment with subjects that focus on leadership, culture, motivation, practices, strategic human resource management and the management of the globalisation process. This allows us to consider both the mechanical and business aspects.
Unparalleled Team
Bringing together one of the World’s largest race car manufacturers, and the leading motorsport education provider, the Formula Club-E project is the work of an unparalleled team.
