e-Formel.de

e-Formel.de is an online portal for electric motorsport. Here, motorsport enthusiasts can find everything about dates, race results, cars, teams and drivers as well as various statistics. With general interest in this still young form of motorsport increasing, the number of visitors to e-Formel.de is also growing steadily. e-Formel.de is one of the first international sources of information for electric motorsport fans.

e-formel.de

Our customer already had an online portal for Formula E when he approached us. However, the existing portal was technically outdated and no longer really up to date. The aim was to develop a completely new system for the portal and to give e-Formel.de a new, fresh "look". It was also important to transfer all existing content and data to the new system.

Even during the planning phase, there were a few "tough nuts" to crack, and we were constantly faced with new challenges. We needed sensible data models to keep races, teams and drivers up to date for each new season, for example, but also to always have data from previous seasons available. The system also had to make it possible to import race results within a very short time and give the user the opportunity to find out about current events directly.

Other requirements included:

• Multilingualism of the portal
• Automatic translation of news
• Current time zone times
• SEO optimization
• Mobile optimization
• Import & export of data
• Calculation of cross-season statistics
• Integration of podcasts
• Countdown to the next race
• Race positions via qualifying data
• and much more

A Contao-based system was created, which operates on the backend with PHP and Symfony.
We have also developed some of our own extensions for Contao to make data maintenance as convenient as possible for our customers. After working closely together, we can proudly say that we have taken e-Formel.de to a whole new level.
