How FE's new era has shaken up the order

Pre-season testing for Formula E's fifth season took place at Valencia last week. Not only did we get a good look at the new Gen2 cars in public action for the first time, but suggestions pointed to a possible shift in the competitive order

With the new Gen2 cars - LED-halo-shod, looking gorgeous and sounding ever more like jets as their massive aero-kits catch the wind - and their technology capable of lasting a whole race distance came an air of secrecy.
