LONDON (Reuters) - The electric Formula E series saw a 32% year-on-year rise in global television audiences last season with free-to-air deals in key markets driving the growth after a pandemic-hit 2020, it reported on Monday.

The city-based championship, whose biggest shareholder is telecoms group Liberty Global, said that for the first time most viewers (62%) were watching races live by the end of the season rather than as highlights or repeats.
