Following a successful debut in races across the 2024/25 season, the technology is set to again provide a thrilling strategic dimension to the series’ double-header weekends.
Starting with Jeddah on February 13, teams will also implement their PIT BOOST strategies in Berlin, Monaco, Shanghai, Tokyo, as well as the season finale in London.
This rapid and efficient booster system delivers teams the ability for two battery top-ups per race from a 600kW portable unit, not constrained by grid connection. The system is enhanced by Fortescue Zero’s battery intelligence software, Elysia, which allows for the optimisation of speed while also preserving battery life and integrity.
With PIT BOOST in play, drivers will have access to one six-minute ATTACK MODE, injecting additional jeopardy into race strategy and delivering more action-packed racing for the fans.
The technology has already undergone rigorous development with PIT BOOST delivering over 1.5MWh of energy across almost 400 battery top-ups conducted across different races, sessions and tests in Season 11. For Season 2025/2026, teams will be challenged to integrate this ultra-fast boost into their race strategies at key locations, including Jeddah, Berlin, Monaco, Shanghai, Tokyo, and London.
