The Woking team remains interested in diversifying their potential in different motorsport categories, now they have signed an option for their possible arrival in Formula E in 2022. Although their thoughts for that to happen are more than clear, they want the electric category to establish a cost limit similar to the one that Formula 1 has introduced. Since they do not want to embark on a project they can believe that they will reap good results by setting a budget and that their rivals will increase it and all is wasted time and money. They have already made the leap to America to compete in the Indy, but they are considering more options. Zak Brown has been in charge of talking about this possibility.
Landing in Formula E could be a reality in 2022
“The cost cap is mandatory for us, because as a racing team or manufacturer, we don’t have the depth of resources of a BMW or Mercedes or Porsche, where if we budget for X, and because people keep raising the bar, the price goes down. becomes Y. What I don’t have is the ability to go back and say ‘oh I need another £ 15 million’. We need to have complete confidence that we can afford to race in the championship, and that those goal posts are not going to move us. I am very satisfied with what I am hearing and the numbers I am hearing, but that will be something before we make a final decision that must be a closed deal. What I can’t do is get into a championship, any championship, which potentially has a moving target as a budget. “
