Lola to Join Formula E Grid Beginning with 2024-25 Season

Lola is starting the next chapter of its racing heritage by joining the ABB FIA Formula E racing series.

The manufacturer made the announcement today that it will make its first entry in the all-electric open-wheel racing series in a technical partnership with Yamaha Motor Company beginning in the 20245-25 season. Yamaha will develop and supply the car's GEN3 Evo platform powertrains.

“We are thrilled to confirm our entry in Formula E. For us, this is more than just an opportunity to return Lola to the track, it’s also a fantastic platform for technological development," said Mark Preston, motorsport director, Lola Cars Ltd. "This project will allow us to create a unique electrified platform with a software focus at its core to provide a basis for Lola’s wider plans in defining the future of motorsport technology.”

Lola says the Formula E entry is the first of several projects planned to re-establish the British company as an industry leader in sustainable engineering and motorsport, focusing on electrification, hydrogen and sustainable fuels and materials.
