Nicki Shields presents the FIA Formula E Championship!
The FIA Formula E Championship – primary all-electric motorsport series is being fronted by tech and motorsport presenter Nicki Shields!
CNN International has launched two new action-packed monthly shows on Formula E and rugby – CNN’s Supercharged and World Rugby shows. These programmes extend the network’s wide range of premium sports coverage spanning golf, sailing, horse racing, equestrianism, skiing, Formula 1 and tennis as well as comprehensive sports news in the flagship CNN World Sport.
Supercharged brings a brand new sport to CNN International – the FIA Formula E Championship – the primary all-electric motorsport series and one of the most exciting new sports in the world. Fronted by tech and motorsport presenter Nicki Shields in her first role for CNN, the show will travel to some of the most glamourous cities in the world to get close to the action in the race-day paddock.
Each show will not only feature highlights of the latest Formula E races, but will venture beyond the circuit to focus on the cutting-edge sustainable technology powering the cars, how a new sport is being built from the ground up and the wider story of promoting cleaner practices in sport and the wider world.
The series opener, aired on 13 February, and covered the Buenos Aires ePrix from Argentina and welcomed newcomers to the sport with an all-you-need–to–know briefing.
