2022 ERA Championship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2022 Software AG ERA Championship, formally known as the 2022 Electric Racing Academy Championship was a motor racing championship for open wheel, all-electric formula racing cars. This was the inaugural and so far, final season of the championship. It became a one-race championship at Circuit Zolder after many scheduling issues.[1][2]

Teams and drivers[edit]

All drivers competed with identical Mitsu-Bachi F110E chassis based on the Dome F110 Formula 4 chassis, powered by a 130KW motor, with a 24KWh battery and Goodyear tires.[3][4]

Race calendar[edit]

On 14 January, the provisional calendar was announced. The series supported the 2022 FIA ETCR - eTouring Car World Cup at all of its races.[1] On 22 February 2022, it was announced that Istanbul Park would host the first round instead of the Istanbul Street Circuit.[2] On 17 May, it was announced that Istanbul FIA ETCR round was postponed to November due to the organizational issues, so Istanbul ERA round was also postponed.[6] Only practice sessions were held at Hungaroring and Circuito del Jarama.[7] The round of the championship at Vallelunga Circuit was cancelled on 19 July due to logistical problems.[8]
