Formula E: Accelerate
is a professional
esports
competition created by
Formula E
in 2021, following the success of 2020's event, the
ABB Formula E Race at Home Challenge in support of UNICEF
.
[1]
[3]
The competition is run on the platform
rFactor 2
platform,
[4]
with seat time at home for competitors, with additional venue events for some rounds. The championship grid is made up of esports teams associated with the manufacturers from the real-world
ABB FIA Formula E World Championship
, with drivers who are selected through early qualification rounds to represent those teams.
The competition is broadcast on various
Formula E
social and streaming platforms, such as
Twitch
,
Facebook
, and
YouTube
.
The championship offers a €100,000 prize-pool and some real-world seat-time with laps in a Gen2 Formula E car.

In the inaugural 2021 season, over 600 professional sim drivers in addition to plenty of talented gamers entered the qualifiers in January 2021, competing for seats in 12 official teams.
Danish sim racer Frederik Rasmussen was crowned as the 2021 Formula E: Accelerate Champion ahead of Erhan Jajovski, taking the €20,000 top prize and a drive in a real Gen2 Formula E car.

ROKiT Venturi Racing
secured the Teams' Championship Title, finishing 36 points clear of the field.

2022
[

The 2022 season added VIP tickets to the Seoul e-Prix to the prize, this time with six rounds of the qualifying competitions, known as "the Road to the London Final," to reduce the field down to a conventional grid size matching the real-world series. This grid then raced at a final round held at the London e-Prix.
[10]
The six qualifying rounds were held at the virtual versions of Rome, Monaco, Berlin, Jakarta, Vancouver, and New York.
[10]
Frederik Rasmussen won driving for Dragon/Penske with Jarno Opmeer second for Mercedes-EQ.
2023
[
edit
]
For 2023 the prize pool was reduced to €40,000, with two open qualifying rounds taking place remotely at the virtual versions of Berlin and Rome, but on the same weeks as the real-world rounds. The top 88 drivers from open qualification will go forward into Qualifying races at the same circuits. The top 11 from each event will then make up the 22-car grid for the final to be held at the London e-Prix.
[11]
The championship will use Gen 3 cars.
