From the time the lights went out in Beijing on Sept. 13 to the moment the checkered flag dropped in London on June 28, the inaugural FIA Formula E season was full of action.
Despite Nick Heidfeld’s scary flip at Beijing and the opening-lap multi-car pileup in Monaco, every driver and participant was able to walk away from the event without injury. The season also featured some great side-by-side and nose-to-tail action, with the championship not being decided until the final lap of the final race in London.
Here are highlights from all 11 races this season:
Round 1 – Beijing – Sept. 13
The inaugural FIA Formula E championship race was a success despite a scary crash for Venturi’s Nick Heidfeld.
