FEH duly distributed the first ten cars, as well as thirty of the thirty-two cars still on order, to teams for testing in July 2014, a test which effectively served as the public unveiling of the series. After a full race simulation all 42 FE cars were shipped to Beijing, China for the first ever ePrix, which was staged on the 13 September 2014. In the build up to the debut race, which was to be won by Lucas di Grassi after a last lap collision between Nicolas Prost and Nick Heidfeld, FEH secured deals with DHL, BMW and Julius Bär to further promote the series.
