Infosys, a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, has partnered with Formula E, the world’s first all-electric FIA World Championship to launch a new AI-powered Race Centre. Built on Infosys Topaz, the platform puts fans at the heart of the action, leveraging intelligent data and advanced AI to deliver a more immersive and dynamic race-day experience.
Now in its second year as Formula E’s Official Digital Innovation Partner, Infosys is moving beyond data-driven insights to create deeper, more engaging fan experiences. The Race Centre serves as a unified hub featuring AI-generated commentary, interactive and gamified elements, explainer videos, weather updates, race control information, and tracking for PIT BOOST and ATTACK MODE. By combining live race feeds with AI-powered storytelling, the platform enhances fans’ understanding of on-track action while keeping them engaged even beyond race weekends.

- Generative AI Commentary Engine: Built on Topaz’s applied AI foundation, this feature delivers real–time, context–aware race narration.

Fans can also vote for the ‘PIF Driver of the Race’ encouraging participation and excitement around potential race outcomes.
- PIT BOOST Tracking: An interactive feature that lets fans track the mandatory fast–charging pit stop in select races and see how it impacts driver positions and race momentum through clear visuals.
- Selected Driver Event Tracker: A feature that allows users to better understand the race development for any individual driver by providing the timeline of their key moments (Overtakes & ATTACK MODE deployment) at any point during the race.
- Agentic AI for Data Orchestration: Topaz agents seamlessly process and integrate over 1.5 million data points across each race including race control updates that feed into the Race Centre dashboard to showcase race positions, and car movements in a 2D racetrack visualization.
By bringing together race data, AI-driven insights, and rich digital content within a single platform, the Race Centre supports fans across the entire racing journey from practice and qualifying to race day and beyond. This unified, scalable digital destination aligns with Formula E’s vision of growing as one of the world’s fastest-expanding sports, appealing to younger, digitally native audiences while enabling personalized storytelling and building stronger global fan loyalty.

The Race Centre, powered by Infosys, helps fans feel closer to the race. Looking ahead, this platform sets the stage for a smarter, more connected future in which innovation and electric racing move forward together.”
Sumit Virmani, Global Chief Marketing Officer, Infosys, said, “Formula E is a powerful platform to demonstrate how AI can reshape sports. With Infosys Topaz at the core of the new Race Centre, we are redefining the race–day experience with real–time, responsible AI insights that deliver seamless performance and engagement.
