In 2014, the very first Formula E race was held in Beijing, China. Since then, there have been races in more than 20 major cities, with 13 global manufacturers committed to the series. The number of Formula E fans all around the globe has been proliferating. 

Today, Formula E is perhaps the most important motorsport series globally and certainly the most innovative. Alejandro Agag, the CEO of Formula E, talks about why he started Formula E, "As a family man, I wanted to contribute to preserving our world for the next generation," he explains. "In light of climate change, Formula 1 no longer appeared appropriate for the times we live in. E-mobility, on the other hand – that is the future. At the end of the day, I simply had to put into practice what I had always believed in." Agag says. 

Formula E is the combination of motorsport and sustainability. At NIO, we are committed to innovating the best technology and performance for our vehicles and making positive changes to the environment. William Li, the founder, and CEO envisions "Blue Sky Coming" as NIO's guiding philosophy to bring a positive future and a more sustainable tomorrow.  

The NIO 333 FE Team, previously named China Racing, was the second team to announce its involvement in Formula E in March 2013. NIO has competed in the ABB FIA Formula E Championship since 2014 and secured the inaugural FIA Formula E Drivers' Championship in July 2015. 2020 – 2021 is the NIO 333 FE Team's 7th season. 

In the new season, in addition to British racer Oliver Turvey, who has raced for the team in every season since the championship's inception, Tom Blomqvist, an Anglo-Swedish racer with rich experience in Formula E, also officially joined the team as the first-team driver.
