The 2017–18 FIA Formula E season will be the fourth season of the FIA Formula E Championship.
Teams and drivers
Team changes
Name Changes
The official entry list for the 2017-18 season contained a number of name changes for the teams. These were:[16]
- Abt Schaeffler Audi Sport became Audi Sport Abt Schaeffler, reflecting increased involvement from Audi.
- Faraday Future Dragon Racing dropped the name Faraday Future from the official name to become Dragon Racing.
- NextEV NIO Formula E was shortened to become NIO Formula E.
- MS Amlin Andretti became MS&AD Andretti Formula E[17], pending future cooperation with BMW.
Driver changes
Joining Formula E
- Former IndyCar and GP2 driver Luca Filippi joins NIO, replacing Nelson Piquet Jr. who moved to Jaguar.[9]
- 2008 A1 Grand Prix champion and 2016 World Endurance Champion Neel Jani joined the series with Dragon Racing replacing Loïc Duval.[5]
- 2014 GP3 Series champion and 2017 12 Hours of Sebring winner Alex Lynn replaces José María López at DS Virgin Racing.[18]
- 2011 Formula Nippon Champion and 2012 World Endurance Champion André Lotterer joins Techeetah replacing Stéphane Sarrazin.
- 2010 Formula 3 Euro Series champion Edoardo Mortara will make his debut in Formula E with Venturi.[4]
- DTM driver Tom Blomqvist was set to replace Robin Frijns at Andretti Autosport but his seat prior the first round was granted to FIA World Endurance Championship and Super Formula Championship driver Kamui Kobayashi.[14]
Changing teams
- 2014–15 Formula E champion Nelson Piquet Jr. moves to Panasonic Jaguar Racing, replacing Adam Carroll.[3]
Rule changes
- The maximum power usage during the race was increased from 170 kW to 180 kW.[19]
- A point for the fastest lap will be restricted to drivers finishing in the top 10, ending the incentive for drivers with damaged cars or placed outside points positions to switch cars to get fastest lap with no intent of finishing the race.
Calendar
In May 2017, a provisional calendar for the 2017–18 season was circulated.[20] In September, the full calendar was announced. This calendar included a new race in Zürich, which marks the first time since 1955 a motorsports circuit race will be held in Switzerland.[21]Also the Buenos Aires round was discontinued.
