Former IndyCar driver Robert Wickens, paralyzed since 2018, makes a huge return. He tested a modified Formula E car with hand controls.
Formula E , officially the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, is an open-wheel single-seater motorsport championship for electric cars. The life-altering crash at Pocono Raceway in 2018 had sort of sealed the promising driver’s fate in the world of racing. However, Formula E seems to have given him a new chance.The driver had not completely left the world of racing following the tragic 2018 incident.
“I’m ecstatic to get the chance to drive Formula E’s GEN3,” says Wickens. “It’s the car I’ve wanted to try since the birth of the series and I’ve never really had an opportunity yet with the career paths I’ve taken,” Wickens hadFormula E also says that it is also the most efficient race car on the planet, with almost 50 percent of its running energy coming from regeneration through its rear and new front powertrain, achieving up to 600kW of total energy regeneration.
The new generation of cars used in the competition is capable of reaching speeds of up to 200 mph, which is not too far behind the 220 mph speed that F1 cars roughly reach during races.
