Comparison01 Tire
Formula E
Nissan LEAF

In Formula E, the rear tires are bigger and fatter to make sure as much power is used as possible.
They're 110mm wider than Nissan LEAF tires because the racecar needs more grip.
Their width provides a perfect balance of grip and road contact to zip around Formula E tracks.

Formula EFormula E
Nissan LEAF Nissan LEAF

You can see both steering wheels are a different shape.
Nissan LEAF has a round wheel which makes it easier to control when making big turns.
Formula E has a different shape because there aren't any big turns, and you don't have to change the grip between your right and left hands.
A screen in the middle shows a lot of different information. This feature is unique to Formula E.
