Formula E has reimagined its entire music and sound suite used across broadcast and digital channels, inspired by the power of electric acceleration and incorporating the sound of the fastest, lightest, most powerful and efficient electric race car ever built – the GEN3. 

Tom Player of Lost Track Productions, working alongside Alex Bingham of sound design company Machine, were commissioned by Formula E to develop the full music and sound suite. They attended private GEN3 testing sessions by two teams in the championship – NIO333 Racing and Mahindra Racing – where they recorded audio of the race cars being pushed to the limit ahead of their debut in Mexico City.

The all-new soundtrack, including broadcast titles music, was composed by Tom Player and recorded live with a 55-piece orchestra at Abbey Road Studios.

The new soundtrack has been released as a 7-track album, titled Change. Accelerated (The Official Formula E Soundtrack) and is now available on all major streaming platforms including Spotify and Apple Music.

Henry Chilcott, Chief Marketing Officer, Formula E, said: 

“This has been a year of renewal for Formula E – new GEN3 race car, new teams, new look and new sound. The music score and soundscape sets the tone for the entire fan experience. Working with Lost Track Productions and Machine Sound, our ambition was to create a bold new anthem for our sport as part of our newly launched brand identity.  The library of music composed by Tom Player is designed to work like a film score evoking different emotions to enhance the race weekend experience from opening broadcast titles right the way through to the live podium celebrations”.
