The FIA's support series to Formula E is unique in that it will have no drivers.

Announced in 2015 and scheduled to demo during the 2016/17 Formula E season, ‘Roborace’ will feature a grid of physically identical cars- the challenge to the 10 teams being to develop the artificial intelligence required to allow the car to compete.



You wouldn't believe that we were to expect to see these cars running at a Formula E event in the next nine months. It has all gone very quiet. Personally I had all but forgotten that this series was on the way. However, according to the website, the wheels are turning- and we can expect new content to be released on Friday.

They tested the concept at the pre-season Donington test, although not with those cars (Mind, I suppose it doesn't really matter what car they use). Think this is the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oULRb1J_Zmc
