FIA calls for selection process for Formula E Championship

MUMBAI: World motor sport‘s governing body The Federation Internationale de l‘Automobile (FIA), which organises F1, has released an official ‘call for expressions of interest and selection process‘ for the Formula E championship.

The championship will kick off in 2013 and feature single seat cars powered entirely by electric motors.
 
The FIA says that in the context of an increasing environmental pressure on human activities, motorsport occupies a particular position of responsibility and has a long tradition of pioneering technological progress.

One of the federation‘s main objectives is to work on the creation of a new high profile championship, designed to be the flagship of the FIA?s sustainable strategy: the FIA Formula E Championship.

The FIA has set itself the target to launch this Championship in 2013. As such the federation calls for expressions of interest to identify a candidate interested in acting as the official and exclusive agent of the FIA for the organisation and promotion of the Championship under the key parameters defined in Appendix A, with a view to concluding a three year contract running from 2013- 2015.
