Loadshedding may be riding South Africa dry at the moment, but plans are in place for it to not impact the upcoming Formula E race in Cape Town. | Sport24news

According to Banner, e-Movement - the promoters for the race - ensured that there are 28 generators in place, generating between 30kW and 1.375MW of power.

Banner further explains that because 11 teams are fielding two cars each, it will put extra pressure on the City's power supply; hence e-Movement will ensure that the race cars and the safety car are always fully charged. Banner further noted that each team's garage, at any one time, needs 160kW to keep everything, including the cars, running optimally. Multiplying this number by the 11 teams brings it to 1.76MW, with the technical garage, where the safety car is housed, ramping the number to 2MW.While the costs to host a Formula E race runs deep into the millions, the Western Cape Government recently revealed that the economic spinoff is astronomical.
