Doug Campling
Chief engineer - motorsport
Williams Advanced Engineering
UK
The FiA World Rallycross series is one of the most exciting and fastest-growing motorsport series in the world today. It has a loyal following, but recent innovations have broadened its appeal both with fans and with the manufacturers that support the series. The latest innovation is to change the propulsion system of the top ‘Supercar’ category from IC engine to a battery-powered fully electric powertrain from 2020. Building on the incredible success of its Formula E battery, Williams Advanced Engineering has been nominated by the FiA as the sole battery supplier to the eWRX series. Doug will present an insight into the development of the battery and its integration into the chassis in what will be a new and uniquely challenging environment.
