The NXT Gen Cup that was due to run in support of Formula E now “won’t happen until next year” if at all, according to CEO Jeff Dodds.

The single-make all-electric series was founded and debuted in Sweden last year using MINI Cooper SE road cars which had been developed by the Lestrup Racing Team. The centrally run series would have been for male and female drivers aged 15-25 and was due to be held in support of Formula E at four rounds, including Berlin, Monaco, London and beginning with this weekend’s Misano E-Prix.

“They’d already agreed some stuff with DTM , so they were probably further down the line with that so I hope they’re still able to race on the DTM calendar but for us, if it’s going to happen it won’t happen until next year.” Running the NXT Gen Cup would have marked the first time that Formula E had a regular support series since the Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy disbanded in 2020 after two seasons.
