Formula E has named Motorsport.com as its official digital media partner ahead of the start of season four.

“Formula E is transforming motor racing for the digital generation and as the leading motoring and motorsport media operation, Motorsport Network are the ideal partner to continue growing our presence in this space.”

Zak Brown, Motorsport Network Chairman, said: “The Formula E championship and Motorsport Network are both experiencing massive growth and we believe joining forces with this media partnership will provide to be very beneficial for both of us.

“Motorsport Network’s investment in Formula E was driven by the audience growth and engagement we saw in the series on our platforms.

“There is a new breed of motorsport fan around the world that is inspired by electric mobility, that will discover Motorsport Network for the first time thanks to our partnership. We also plan to work closely with the championship’s manufacturers to help them showcase their vision of the future of electric vehicles.”
