800HP, 700kW re-gen, AWD with active differentials, unlimited TCS & ABS systems with high and low downforce bodywork options.

The Gen4 FE car will undoubtedly be fast, and hopefully it retains the current car's ability to race & overtake.

When you’ve been shooting essentially the same thing for a week, it’s time to start getting creative. #FormulaE

Postcards from Valencia, photographed ahead of Formula E pre-season testing. First time using iPhone for this in a while, and pleasantly surprised with the results.

If anyone can advise how to navigate Valencian roundabouts, it would be much appreciated.

Just back from Germany, having documented Cork's Conor Shanahan complete a perfect weekend at Drift Masters to retake the championship lead heading into the finale in Warsaw next month.

A privilege and honour to document the Ballsbridge Beetle’s return home to Ireland.

The very first RHD Beetle, and the first Beetle built outside of Germany, this 1950 split-window example is priceless.

We did it all for the rookies.

It so close to being a positive weekend, but ended up with a double DNF.

That was… a day.

There’s a storm coming (an actual one with potential red flag implications during the scheduled race time).

Preparation for the Berlin ePrix underway, including a paddock evacuation for a lightning storm.

On a break at the moment with family in the south of Spain, our first trip abroad together since our daughter was born.

Really appreciating this time off in between the mayhem of travelling & work, and grateful to be able to enjoy it.

It's finally race week again. Next stop, Miami.

I’ve wanted to incorporate @edhawkins.org Climate Stripes into some of Envision Racing’s photography for a while. The stripes here represent the progressive heating of our planet from 1850 to 2024.

I hope to create a series of these based on our 2025 travels.

Sometimes, it’s hard to call what I do work.

Exploring Wicklow in the new BMW 1 Series before Christmas.

While waiting for the green cars to come around, I have to stay occupied somehow.

Random observation that last season's pole position time at the São Paulo ePrix was almost 0.5s slower than this weekend's slowest qualifying time set in the Gen3 Evo. Wild.

That was a wild, wild race. Remember that racecar backwards might still be racecar, but racecar upside down is expensive.

Driver okay, medical & extrication crews stepped up when needed as they always do in #FormulaE

They’ve now blocked me, but please report / block / ignore anything coming from that account.

We’re on track for the first time in #FormulaE Season 11. First impressions are the noticeable differences in traction, cornering and outright speed. Fascinating season ahead.

Quali & race tomorrow ✌️

Curious if today is a sign of things to come this weekend, searing sunshine followed by heavy thunderstorms. Good thing we have AWD to play with this season…

Exploring São Paulo before the start of the 2025 #FormulaE season commences this weekend.

For the first time this season, it's race week. First stop, Brazil for the São Paulo ePrix.

Having never been to South America before this year, this is my second trip to Brazil in 9 months. I'm looking forward to experiencing hot rain for the week. #FormulaE
