Learn how to win a Formula E race

Most racing takes a ton of strategy. This is why we see the same superstars winning or placing well time and time again. However, Formula E takes the strategy to an entirely different level. This is not just due to the fact that these professional drivers are accustomed to strategizing, but rather because the setup leaves no other choice ... if you want to win.

For those unfamiliar with Formula E, it's important to understand that the vehicles are 100 percent electric and every driver must use two cars to make it through a full race. These factors add interesting elements of challenge, which up the ante when it comes to forming a successful game plan.
