Looking back at last weekās
@fiaformulae GEN4 race car launch, weāve been incredibly excited to see how well the car was received. Once images from Paul Ricard began circulating, the launch quickly swept across the motorsport world, with the new GEN4 at the centre of it all.
Weāre proud to say that alongside designing and helping to execute the launch event itself,
@race.service also worked closely with Formula E on the livery design for not only the new GEN4 race car, but the GEN1, GEN2 and GEN3 cars featured in the presentation as well.
This project stemmed from the Generations Pursuit on track moment, where all four generations of Formula E car were brought together to demonstrate the progression of the championship and just how far the technology has advanced. That opportunity led Formula Eās creative team to commission Race Service to develop a complete four car livery programme.
The brief was to create a visual storyline of technological development, complexity and power from GEN1 through to the present day.
Developed by RS team member,
@seanbulldesign , the resulting concept was titled Airflow Energy. The graphic language represents airflow in timeline form across the four generations, showing a build-up of energy leading toward GEN4 before expanding and releasing at its climax. Surface complexity increases across each chassis to reflect the advancing technical sophistication of the series, while key aerodynamic elements were highlighted for readability and visual progression.
By GEN4, the design centres on kinetic ion energy release, with the driver and machine visually merging around the cockpit focal point.
We also integrated broader visual cues from the
@grantarts GEN4 Unleashed event identity to ensure the cars and wider launch environment functioned as one cohesive system.
A hugely exciting project to be involved in, and one we are proud to have played a central role in. Massive thanks to the Formula E team for having the vision to approach all four generations of car as a unified design system.
Weāve been humbled to see how strongly the work has resonated across the motorsport world.
