Formula E has been granted world championship status by the FIA in a vote that will see the series recognized as the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship from the start of the 2020-21 season.
 
The Federation Internationale de l’Automobile, the governing and sanctioning body for world motorsports, and sitting members of the FIA World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) recently voted upon and agreed to move forward with certifying Formula E as an FIA world championship.
 
Founder & Chairman of Formula E Alejandro Agag—alongside FIA President Jean Todt—signed the agreement together at FIA headquarters at Place de la Concorde in Paris to officially confirm world championship status for season seven.
 
Transitioning to the highest level in the FIA sanctioned single-seater hierarchy means that teams and drivers will compete for the newly named ABB FIA Formula E World Championship title next season.
