The FIA has revealed further details about a battery fire which took place earlier this week at Formula E pre-season testing in Valencia.
The incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon in the garage of battery supplier WAE at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Spain. Running was postponed at the test indefinitely while a full investigation was undertaken by the FIA and WAE, before the governing body confirmed that testing could resume on Thursday afternoon.
The FIA statement continued: “The investigations and findings provided by the single supplier of batteries for Formula E cars and reviewed by the FIA confirm that use of the battery packs in line with the single supplier’s recommendations and requirements are within acceptable safety tolerances for a motorsport environment and therefore acceptable for on-track activity to go ahead.
