Branson Accelerates into the New Formula E Electric Racing Series

Richard Branson Drives into the Electric Racing Future

Did you know Sir Richard Branson has already touched the skies with planes, rocketed us to space, and dived into the world of trains? Now he’s revving up the next big thing – high‑speed electric cars.

Virgin Group Takes the Formula E Stage

The Virgin Group is about to make a serious splash in Formula E, the all‑electric racing league that’s set to roll around the globe. First stop? Beijing, September 2014. Final lap? London, June 2015. It’s a city‑center sprint that’s all about clean power and high excitement.

Why Formula E? Because the future matters.

Think of this as a giant invitation for the world to see that electric vehicles can be fast, furious, and fabulous. These cars run on batteries, spew zero emissions, and can hit up to 150 mph. A perfect showcase for the technology that’s shaping tomorrow.

Sir Richard’s Slogan

Branson’s words? “The launch of the Formula E Championship is exciting for racing fans and for anyone who believes in green, electric future cars.” He’s all about pushing the limits of performance and sustainability.

Fast race cars mean green tech goes mainstream.
City theaters plus a global audience = more fans and more electrified joy.
Spin‑out from Formula 1’s 2010‑2011 flop – because the next chapter is electric!

Fast Cars Are Branson’s Passion

He’s no stranger to speed. Virgin raced Formula 1 back in 2010–2011 – results were modest, but the desire for speed never faded. Now, the focus shifts to clean, electric velocity that keeps fans in their seats, sparks flying, and the future bright.
