Geox Rome E-Prix 2019

Mitch Evans is the winner of the Geox Rome E-Prix 2019, the seventh round with the FIA Formula E Championship. Evans, on Jaguar, comes first, ahead of Andre Lotterer and Stoffel Vandoorne.

A very exciting race, with a new event, the Jaguar I-Pace E-Trophy which shared the same racing track. There have been several changes from last year, now drivers can drive the entire race without changing vehicle. More power, new shapes, more safety measures, all combined with the new batteries, that push the cars to a top speed of 280km/h and a lightning start.

The Rome’s E-Prix is more than a race, it is a complex event spanning two days, among meetings with the press, autorities, pilots, fans and the technicians’ hard work, checking and testing the car until the last moment from the very early morning. There is much more than running and winning in this report, there is the spirit and emotion that you can feel at the pits, among the mechanics, technicians, all pilots and their teams Even public did not give up for the bad weather and some heavy rain before the start.

The Geox Rome’s E-PRIX, proved to be a mature event, this year, with more initiatives involving the public in a singular street circuit and an important media coverage. Two intense days, with the bless and curse of the rain, changing weather from blinding sun to cloudy and rain. This mix of lights, gave a great visual impact and a dramatic mood to the pictures, looking like two diffeerent races insted of one.

E-cars are not easy to follow, they arrive with a hiss and flee away in complete silence and a screech of tires.

The next edition will see more engines’ power, said the E Prix president Alejandro Agag. We will be there, to report on one of the most important events in Rome and capture the enthusiasm that surrounds each race of the E-Prix.
