Craig Scarborough has today joined Current E as technical editor.

Effective April 30, the noted technical illustrator, journalist and broadcaster often known as Scarbs will create and curate a library of features and graphics designed to explain and illustrate Formula E’s innovate technologies.

“As fan of technology in motorsport, the arrival of the Formula E championship was massively interesting for me,” says Scarborough. “The series will evolve from a ‘spec series’ with the first all-electric production race car, progressing in later seasons into an incubator for emerging EV technology. This means the technical fascination will only increase and become more relevant as the seasons pass. My aim is to provide explanations of this technology and doing this with Current E is an obvious route. Current E has been engaged with the series since its inception and has remained ahead of the curve in the coverage of this amazing series.”

“Scarbs has been a supporter of Current E since our very early days and I’m thrilled that Current E has now reached a place whereby we can cement and expand our professional relationship,” says Ross Ringham, editor at Current E. “He joins us at a particularly exciting time for Formula E, just before multiple constructors enter the sport with an array of different powertrain solutions. Scarbs will help analyse and explain what we see and (perhaps more importantly in many cases) what we don’t.”

Scarbs has built an extensive portfolio of work in the past 15 years, working for outlets including Sky F1, Autosport, Motor Sport Magazine, F1 Racing, Racecar Engineering and Road & Track, to name just a few.

“I’m so proud of the team that Current E has built in the past two years,” says Ross Ringham. “The backing we’ve had from the Formula E community itself has been amazing, from the interaction of race fans to the open door policy of teams, drivers and key media figures such as Jennie Gow, Marc Priestley, Jack Nicholls and Nicki Shields. There is an exciting new age about to dawn for Formula E and I’m confident that, with Scarbs on board too, we’re well positioned to meet it.”
