Thanks to a collaboration between Formula E and game developer Ubisoft, gamers can now experience the thrill of the fully-electric racing series and the grip of the Hankook iON Race for themselves. As of recently, the popular computer game Trackmania gives roughly ten million users access to the liveries of the eleven teams in the Formula E World Championship. A special game format, including Attack Mode and energy management, has also been designed, while the racetracks in Tokyo, Berlin and London are also available in Trackmania. Live races are held at these circuits, with a prize purse of € 1,000 up for grabs on each occasion. The first of three races was held on the eve of the Tokyo E-Prix.
