FIA and Formula E unveil 'tailor-made' driving standards guidelines

Following on from the Formula 1 unveiling its driving standards guidelines, the FIA has released a 'tailor-made' documentation outlining the new driving standards guidelines in Formula E. 

The new documentation was created by motorsport's governing body alongside FE drivers and teams, to support the stewards' decision-making. 

This has been done by clarifying what conduct is allowed on the circuit, with the all-electric series having often featured aggressive overtakes and contact. 

By introducing the document, the hope is that the consistency of the stewards' decisions will improve, whilst it can be used when assessing incidents and infringements. 

The driving standards guidelines features topics such as moving under coasting, how to rejoin the track after cutting a chicane to avoid any energy gain, how to blend following Attack Mode activation or the priority that applies in pit lane after Pit Boost stops.

Following its unveiling, FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem stated: "FIA Stewards and Officials play a crucial role in maintaining safety and fairness across all levels of motorsport. 

"As the governing body, we are committed to equipping them with the tools, resources, and support they need to uphold the highest standards in the sport. 

"The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship Driving Standards Guidelines have been specifically developed for this series, through close collaboration with drivers, officials, and industry experts.

"This tailor-made framework ensures that driving conduct aligns with the unique demands and spirit of the championship."
