Season 10 was quite a spectacle for Formula E.

Between the eight different race winners to the high level of competition, Formula E is trending upward when it comes to popularity.

Now, with the addition of Lola heading into 2024 and a slew of driver changes, Season 10 helped usher a level of excitement that hasn't been felt since the series has started.

Drama on The Race Track

The storylines were heavy this season in Formula E and their were a few driver conflicts that created for true tension between some of the competitiors on track.

Jake Dennis didn't make many friends out on track, especially after his performance in London, running rough shot through the field in Round 15 a few weeks back.

Even in Portland we saw some drama unfold, especially with Jaguar TCS and McLaren with the Mitch Evans incident.

Having these driver conflicts and tension added for great on-track racing in Season 10.

More than ever, Formula E has the personalities with its drivers that have elevated it to being one of the top open-wheel series in the world.

Obviously, the series has always had the talent pool, given that some former FE drivers are now in F1, but this crop not only fits in with what Formula E is trying to acheive as a series, but their personalties being on full display in 2024 has added to the overall aura of the series.

Championship Chases?

Over the past few years, Formula E has provided a great championship chase in the final few races of the season and Season 10 was no exception.

Pascal Wehrlein's come from behind championship run was quite fullfilling for the driver that started the year with a race win.

It wasn't an easy road for Wehrlein and Porsche, even losing out on the new Manufactuerer's championship, but it provided for great drama late in the campaign.

Pascal's run to a title may go down as one of the greatest in the series' short history. Their were six to seven legitimate drivers that had a shot at the crown heading into London, with three truly battling for the crown.

The Gen 3 car brought a lot of parody to the sport and don't be suprised if that continues with the EVO, but the last two seasons with the Gen 3 has set up what should be a great 2025 and beyond.
