Formula E are currently trialing a biometric system, which will be made available to the fans via the official Formula E app once they have gathered enough information for it to work without issues.

Drivers are currently wearing sensors on their race suits, which shows the driver’s heart rate, breathing rate and stress levels, whilst they are driving around the track.

Formula E CEO Alejandro Agag feels that the racing series should give as much data as they possibly can to the fans, in order for them to understand exactly what a driver goes through when they are in the seat of a Formula E car.

“We testing this, we think that the more information you give to the fans the better. We are going to give the fans every information possible, in terms of technical like the battery life, but we want to go beyond this. We are now testing sensors on the drivers, in order to give the heart rate and their stress levels. This will allow fans to see how their favourite driver is feeling during the race compared to the others.” said Alejandro Agag.
