HWA RACELAB is pursuing an extreme goal: The motorsport experts from Affalterbach have set their sights on competing in Extreme E, the racing series for fully-electric SUVs that is to be launched in 2021. This project sees HWA AG once again demonstrate its pioneering spirit, as Extreme E is a radical new sport and entertainment concept. The races take place in such regions as the Arctic, the Himalayas, the Sahara and the Amazon rain forest. As well as the competitive aspect, the intention is to also raise awareness of the effects of climate change on these delicate ecosystems.

HWA RACELAB will contest its final two races in the ABB FIA Formula E Championship at the season finale in New York. The team has made great strides over the course of the season and is looking to finish on a high this weekend. At the same time, the finale in the Big Apple also sees HWA RACELAB hand the baton over to the Mercedes-Benz EQ Formula E Team.

A historic moment for HWA RACELAB in Spielberg: during the third round of the FIA Formula 3 Championship, Jake Hughes (Great Britain) claimed victory in the second race of the weekend on Sunday and thus secured its team the maiden race win in the new series. The Brit was second across the finish line, but was promoted to the top spot in the final classification following a penalty for the erstwhile first-placed.

HWA RACELAB has scored its first points at the team's second event in the FIA Formula 3 Championship. Bent Viscaal (Netherlands) and Jake Hughes (Great Britain) both picked up points in the two races at Circuit Paul Ricard (France), finishing fifth and seventh respectively. Hughes also secured the first pole position for the team from Affalterbach in qualifying.

The run of points finishes for HWA RACELAB in the ABB FIA Formula E Championship came to an end at the E-Prix in Bern. In an eventful race, Stoffel Vandoorne worked his way through the field place by place, but his fightback ultimately went unrewarded. Team-mate Gary Paffett was hampered by a puncture.
