Formula E on pace at COMSOL Conference 2026
Formula E is pairing LiDAR scanning and COMSOL multiphysics simulation to cut travel-heavy track testing and improve broadcast and fan experience.
- Formula E's tech scope: CTO Dan Cherowbrier oversees all non-car technology—TV broadcast cameras, microphones, CCTV, timing systems, and car telemetry—for the UK-based all-electric racing series.
- LiDAR for track modeling: Formula E scans each track via LiDAR roughly six months before a race; teams build simulation models and simulator-racing partners load the data, with COMSOL set to build it into digital twins.
