The first of a special two-part series looking back at a decade of Formula E focuses on the early years of the all-electric series and features current broadcaster Nicki Shields, former commentator Jack Nicholls, and 2019-20 champion Antonio Felix da Costa. Sam Smith and Andre van de Burgt host over an hour of memories about how Formula E got together in the first place, how it almost died after three races and then boomed in the first five years of its existence. Memories of the first season are majored on, as are some of the hair-raising moments from a championship that broke the mould to become one of the more successful sporting start-ups of the century so far. Among the more amusing moments are recollections of Nick Heidfeld and Nico Prost's infamous accident at the first race in Beijing and how da Costa almost left the nascent series before it had even started.

The Race's first Formula E podcast of the 2023 season starts with a detailed look at the dawning of the new Gen3 era after a first public look at the much discussed cars in Mexico City. Our new-old-new host Jack Nicholls presents the show gauging the opinions of The Race's Sam Smith and Jack Cozens on how Jake Dennis and all things Porsche dominated the opening round at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. While Porsche made hay, Jaguar and DS relatively slumped, so the post mortem of why two of the pre-season favourites floundered is debated. Also discussed is the overall impression that Gen3 made, the new attack mode structure and what the future holds for Formula E as it enters its third epoch. The trio also look in to Robin Frijns' injury and what it means for the new ABT Cupra team as it searches for a new driver to fill the void left by the Dutch ace. There is also a look ahead to next weekend's Diriyah EPrixs where the fast-tracked emergency braking solution is expected to debut on the new cars.
