Nissan Formula E Team is preparing for Rounds 4 and 5 of the 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The team is looking to improve after a challenging weekend in Miami. The Jeddah Corniche Circuit, a 3.001-kilometer track with 19 turns, presents a rapid-paced and thrilling challenge for drivers. This weekend will feature a unique race format, with the opening race seeing the return of Pit Boost and the second race having a traditional E-Prix format.

Why it matters

The introduction of Pit Boost and the adjustments to Attack Mode highlight the ongoing evolution of Formula E technology. These changes aren't just about speed; they're about strategic energy management and pushing the boundaries of electric vehicle performance. Effective energy management is crucial in Formula E, and the Pit Boost and Attack Mode strategies add another layer of complexity, requiring teams to optimize their energy usage for maximum performance.

The details

The Jeddah Corniche Circuit is expected to provide numerous overtaking opportunities in Turns 1, 8, and after Turn 12. This will be the eighth consecutive season Saudi Arabia has hosted an E-Prix, and the second time it's been held in Jeddah. The opening race will see the return of Pit Boost, offering a 10% energy increase (3.85kWh) through a 30-second, 600kW pit stop recharge. Season 12 introduces a change: drivers will have only one Attack Mode deployment, active for six minutes. Saturday's race will be a traditional E-Prix with no Pit Boost and two Attack Mode deployments, each lasting eight minutes.

  • The opening race will be held on Friday, February 10, 2026.
  • The second race will be held on Saturday, February 11, 2026.
