FULL DRIVER LINE-UP REVEALED FOR FORMULA E’S FIRST ROOKIE FREE PRACTICE OF THE GEN3 ERA

Formula E and the FIA today revealed the full line-up of eleven drivers confirmed to participate in the first rookie free practice session of the GEN3 race car era, taking place in Rome this Friday. The rookie free practice session is designed to offer new and emerging talent the chance to showcase their skills in the GEN3 – the fastest, lightest, most powerful and efficient electric race car ever built. It will be held on the same street circuit where 22 drivers will compete in the 2023 Hankook Rome E-Prix double-header of races this Saturday and Sunday in Rounds 13 and 14 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. The practice session will see the return of several drivers from the rookie test session ahead of the 2023 Berlin E-Prix. This includes: Jehan Daruvala (Mahindra Racing), Formula 2 Competitor and previously one of three Force India F1 Team winners of the ‘One in a Billion Hunt’ Sheldon van der Linde (Jaguar TCS Racing), reigning 2022 DTM Champion Felipe Drugovich (Maserati MSG Racing), 2022 Formula 2 Champion Luca Ghiotto (Nissan Formula E Team), Italian driver and former Formula 2 competitor Yann Ehrlacher (DS PENSKE), 2020 and 2021 World Touring Car Cup winner, will make his Formula E debut in the GEN3 Previous rookie tests have resulted in several drivers making the step up to a full-time race seat. Nick Cassidy (Envision Racing), teammates Sacha Fenestraz and Norman Nato (Nissan Formula E Team), Jake Hughes (NEOM McLaren Formula E Team) and Sérgio Sette Câmara (NIO 333 Racing) all participated in the 2020 rookie test held in Marrakesh. Alberto Longo, Co-Founder & Chief Championship Officer, Formula E, said: “We are excited to give opportunities behind the wheel of the GEN3 race car to the very best emerging racing talent from around the world. It will be thrilling to see how rookies in the top tier of their racing series take to the all-electric GEN3 race car. Their accomplishments to date mean they have earned this opportunity and we wish them all luck in showcasing why they deserve a seat in the championship in the future.” Marek Nawarecki, Director of Circuit Sport Department, FIA, said: “Building upon the successful rookie test day held in Berlin earlier this year, which allowed a large number of aspiring Formula E drivers to demonstrate their ability behind the wheel of the pioneering GEN3 single-seater, we are excited to see them take to the track again in Rome and to welcome a new face to the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship paddock.” Taking place at the heart of a race weekend and on a typical Formula E street circuit, this session represents an invaluable opportunity for drivers to showcase their skills in front of key decision-makers, and for teams to evaluate their potential. We are eager to see how they get on.” Formula E is increasingly seen as a proving ground for the most talented drivers. After winning the 2019 FIA Formula 2 title, Nyck De Vries joined Formula E where he immediately showed his world-class racing ability to become the 2021 FIA Formula E World Champion. De Vries races for F1 team Scuderia AlphaTauri this season. Current Formula E world champion Stoffel Vandoorne (DS PENSKE) combines his electric racing career with F1. As well as defending his Formula E title this season, Vandoorne is a reserve driver for the Aston Martin team in F1. Vandoorne moved to Formula E following success in his early career and having earned a place on the McLaren Young Driver Programme. The Rome Rookie Free Practice session is scheduled to take place on Friday 14 July prior to the Hankook Rome E-Prix double-header Saturday 15 July and Sunday 16 July.

Scuderia AlphaTauri and Catawiki launch unprecedented auctions

Scuderia AlphaTauri and Catawiki, the leading online marketplace for special objects, are pleased to announce an unprecedented partnership, offering all fans the opportunity to own a piece of Formula 1 history. A series of five online auctions will be held this year, accessible to everyone, featuring a record number of over 300 collector's items carefully selected by Catawiki’s motorsport experts. These include objects from the F1 team’s past and present seasons, alongside those from both the Scuderia Toro Rosso and the Scuderia AlphaTauri era. The objects in auction will include a variety of car parts – such as wheel nuts, flaps, front and rear wings – to drivers’ racing kits, helmets and pit crew overalls, as well as mock-up to actual racing cars, that have been competing in the Formula 1 World Championship. Through these auctions, Scuderia AlphaTauri and Catawiki aim to bring the exclusive allure of Formula 1 within reach of its fans. Scuderia AlphaTauri has long been a training ground for some of F1’s most celebrated drivers making it a natural gateway into the world of F1. And with over 75,000 objects in auction every week and millions of buyers from across the globe, Catawiki is the ideal partner to find new lucky owners for these incredible objects. The rapid growth and popularity of Formula 1 go hand in hand with a growing market for its collectables. The demand for iconic sports memorabilia has more than doubled on Catawiki since 2019, thanks to the spectacle that is F1 sport which has found its way into more people’s homes across seasons. The STR11 is the standout from the first online auction; the same car that raced in the 2016 season when Scuderia Toro Rosso scored 63 points thanks to the achievements of its drivers Max Verstappen, Carlos Sainz and Daniil Kvyat. Jos Pirkner’s painted bull on the engine cover was the first of its kind seen on any F1 livery, which gave the car an artistic and dynamic look. Fans of Scuderia AlphaTauri’s two current drivers, Yuki Tsunoda and Nyck de Vries, and former drivers such as Sebastian Vettel, Pierre Gasly, Daniel Ricciardo and Carlos Sainz, are also in for a treat. Their driver kits, both signed and unsigned, are up for bidding, along with Verstappen’s worn 2016 gear. The first online auction is now open for bidding on Catawiki. Future auctions are set to take place in August, September, November and December this year, and fans can expect online auctions as well as physical events. Catawiki’s logo will be visible on the outside Halo of the Yuki’s and Nyck’s AT04 for the Austrian and Dutch Grand Prix. Genevieve Tearle, General Manager of Collectables at Catawiki, said: "We are proud to be partnering with Scuderia AlphaTauri and helping to open their archives to F1 fans and Collectors to own a truly iconic piece of racing history. From their role developing world class drivers, to the current talented line up of Yuki and Nyck, the collection that we will be offering together is a truly remarkable piece of motorsport memorabilia." “I am pleased to bring F1 collectors closer to the rich history of our team and give them the opportunity to own a piece of our own history,” commented Franz Tost, Scuderia AlphaTauri Team Principal. “I like to think there will be a piece of either Toro Rosso or Scuderia AlphaTauri on display in our fans’ living rooms, up until one of our racing cars is parked in their garage. With Catawiki we have found the best possible partner to make this possible.” The first 70 objects are up for auction now and fans can place their bids until July 12th, 2023. Part of the proceeds of the first auction will be donated to the relief aid operation run by the City of Faenza to support those affected by the flooding and heavy rain in May this year. Part of the proceeds of the subsequent auctions will be donated to the not-for-profit foundation Wings for Life, which is dedicated to spinal cord injury research.

FORMULA E EXPANDS EXISTING PARTNERSHIP WITH CBS SPORTS, STRIKES U.S. STREAMING RIGHTS DEAL WITH ROKU

Formula E, the world’s first all-electric FIA World Championship motorsports series, today announced ground-breaking new broadcast distribution partnerships in the U.S. that will see long-standing partner CBS air more live races than ever before and introduce Roku, America’s #1 TV Streaming Platform, as the streaming home of Formula E. Beginning in January 2024, five races will air live on CBS Television Network and simulcast on Paramount+, with both channels already featured and integrated prominently on Roku’s platform. Roku users that subscribe to Paramount+ can easily enjoy the races airing on the service through the Paramount+ app on Roku’s Sports Experience. CBS Sports Network will also show one highlights programme per round. The new partnerships, which mark Roku’s first-ever live sports rights acquisition, reflects growing interest in all-electric motorsport racing in the United States. Starting next season, 11 races in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will be available on The Roku Channel, a leader in free ad-supported streaming, and will also be easily accessible through the Sports Experience on Roku’s Home Screen. Roku’s Sports Experience makes discovering and accessing live, upcoming, and on-demand sports content easier than ever, driving engagement and awareness for Roku’s content partners and creating a personalized viewing experience for audiences. In addition to offering streamers the live races, Roku will also bring its audience a robust offering of Formula E library content, including Formula E's docu-follow series "Unplugged”, as well as race previews, highlights, replays of all races and more. Formula E, CBS Sports and Roku announced the pioneering multi-year broadcast deal for the U.S. market following the first ABB FIA Formula E World Championship race at the Portland International Raceway in Oregon last Saturday which sold out. Last week, Formula E confirmed that the series will return to Portland in Season 10 when the new broadcast partnership will be active. Aarti Dabas, Chief Media Officer, Formula E, said: “This is a powerful new partnership with CBS and Roku that will dramatically increase Formula E’s audience reach and maximise discoverability of our programming in the USA. We value the strength of our ongoing relationship with CBS and are delighted to join forces with Roku and supercharge Formula E content on their market-leading platform.” David Eilenberg, Head of Content, Roku Media, said: "It’s an honor to partner with Formula E on Roku’s first-ever live sports partnership, making it easier for millions of TV streamers to discover the thrill of Formula E races through the unique integrated viewing experiences only available on Roku. We look forward to working together with Formula E, as well as our longstanding partners at CBS and Paramount+, to drive viewership to this programming and to connect new audiences with the exhilarating world of Formula E.” Billy Stone, Programming, CBS Sports, said: “Formula E is innovative and exciting racing, and we’re thrilled to expand our partnership and broadcast more live races across CBS and Paramount+.” *based on hours streamed, December 2022, Hypothesis Group.

NICK CASSIDY WINS USA FORMULA E RACE AS JAKE DENNIS TAKES CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD - ROUND 12

Envision Racing’s Nick Cassidy won an enthralling Southwire Portland E-Prix ahead of Avalanche Andretti Formula E Team driver Jake Dennis in second place, propelling the pair to the top of the world championship standings with Dennis leading Cassidy by a point. TAG Heuer Porsche's António Félix da Costa finished third while just seven seconds split the first 17 cars at the flag. Cassidy measured his race to perfection starting from P10 on the grid as the 22-strong field jostled for superiority over the 32-lap race. It is the first time the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship has raced at the famed Portland International Raceway, and Formula E's unique balancing act between energy efficiency and outright pace came to the fore. The strategic battle for top spot was clear from the opening lap as positions and race leaders changed corner by corner in groups five and six wide at points, resulting in 403 passes during the race. Kiwi Cassidy led the way several times but got the better of da Costa, himself a race leader, on Lap 28 with the decisive move, only a few turns after the Portuguese had seized the initiative. Cassidy first hit the front on Lap 3 while da Costa clambered through the pack from P8 to pile the pressure on the Envision Racing driver right to the flag but Cassidy held fast for a third win of Season 9. Jake Dennis started in Julius Bär Pole Position and led the opening stages but couldn't time his late-race charge as precisely as Cassidy, though he did manage to pass da Costa in the final lap to push the Portuguese into third. Going into the race, Pascal Wehrlein (TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team) was leading the Drivers’ standings by just one point ahead of Dennis. The German was fortunate to escape contact and come home in ninth, just inside the points at the chequered flag. Wehrlein sits in third on 136 points, trailing the leading pair of Dennis and Cassidy on 154 and 153 points respectively. On his 29th birthday, Mitch Evans (Jaguar TCS Racing) recovered from 20th on the grid to fourth – earning the ABB Driver of Progress Award for the most places gained in the race – and ensuring he remains in the title fight on 122 points with four races to come in Season 9. Off the track, more than 20,000 attended the sold-out debut race for the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in Portland. Cheerleaders from local NBA team, the Portland Trail Blazers entertained fans, while first-year forward for the Trail Blazers, Jabari Walker, also enjoyed the race. Olympic champion skier Lindsey Vonn was embedded with the Jaguar TCS Racing team and experienced a high-speed electric lap of the track. American rapper, singer and fashion designer Jaden Smith unveiled his own unique livery design for a GEN3 race car – the fastest, lightest most powerful and efficient electric race car ever built – in the Allianz Fan Village before the race. Jaden Smith said: “I have such a connection with Formula E. I absolutely loved coming back for my second E-Prix, even more being able to design my own GEN3 livery. It’s such an incredible platform to express myself and my passion for innovation. Seeing it come to life was unreal. I believe we all need to give back to the world and create our own sustainable future. That’s where Formula E is leading the charge. They prove it can be done in a thrilling way which showcases innovation, technology and outrageous racing. That’s really exciting to me. I’m all in. I can’t wait to be back.” Nick Cassidy, No. 37, Envision Racing, said: “It’s cool. I’ve had a good run in America the last couple of years. I love racing here. That race was fun. Look it’s close. The guys we’re racing are top. Jake did an amazing job in quali. I think he was unlucky to be starting on pole - today wasn’t the race to be doing that. And António in these races is always fantastic as well. It’s close, it’s fun, it’s Formula E. “To be fair, I saw Mitch up with me at stages, I saw Seb, I saw Sam. And we all started far back. So credit to Jaguar and credit to Envision Racing. What a car, what a powertrain.” Jake Dennis, No. 27, Avalanche Andretti Formula E, said: “Yeah we had a good day. I think after the flag I was a little bit disappointed, just because the way the race panned out. It was really, really difficult. Nevertheless, we got P2. There was some really difficult overtakes to be had. There are some guys fighting for the championship and other guys with nothing to lose. A race like today is all about risk. I just had to keep my powder dry and come home with an undamaged car and I knew I could get a good result. To come home second, I think that’s three seconds in a row now, so I want to taste the win again in Rome. But we can be happy with a race like that – 400 overtakes – to come home with 18 points is good. “Me and Nick are really fighting for the championship. It’s just who takes the most risk. Some of those moves on António were brave and he did really good job there. I obviously did António right on the last lap and I just about got through. I’m looking forward to having that race behind me now and getting to Rome where it’ll be a bit more normal and pole will actually be a benefit.” António Félix da Costa, No. 13, TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team, said: “When I came onto the track this morning, I was not expecting the turnout from all these guys. This is big. You guys like IndyCar, you like NASCAR, to see this support for Formula E is insane so thanks for coming out. It’s really, really cool. “I thought that was a great show to be honest - there was a lot going on. For the team and for myself in the car, I thought that was the right moment to go out to the front, but turns out Nick was just a tiny bit more clever than us today and Jake got us there at the end as well. I’m happy, a podium is always awesome. A solid day for me and for the team today. “Pascal - I’m not sure what’s going on now - but he was leading the championship going into the race. The goal was always to help him. I was waiting for him to come and if he did come I was going to be there to try help him win this race. But I knew if he wasn’t there then it’s my turn to try have a go at it and that’s what we did. Unfortunately, we came just short but it’s ok – a podium is always cool and it’s going to be awesome to do it here with these guys.” Rome is the next stop in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship with a double header of races on Saturday 15 July and Sunday 16 July – Rounds 13 and 14 in the 16-race season – before the finale in London two weeks later.

JADEN SMITH REVEALS ONE-OFF FORMULA E RACE CAR LIVERY AT SOUTHWIRE PORTLAND E-PRIX

Rapper, singer and fashion designer Jaden Smith today unveiled his custom-made livery on the GEN3 – the world’s fastest, lightest, most powerful and efficient electric race car every built –at the Southwire Portland E-Prix. Jaden has been an avid fan of the world’s most sustainable sport since attending a Formula E race in Brooklyn, New York, last season. Now he has taken his support to the next level by teaming up with Formula E to create a unique livery design for the sport’s GEN3 race car – the fastest, lightest most powerful and efficient electric race car ever built. The collaboration between Jaden and Formula E - the first sport in the world to be net zero since inception - was also revealed to thousands of fans at the sell-out event who all got the chance to see the car up close at the Formula E Allianz Fan Village at Portland International Raceway. The concept for the design reflects Jaden’s love for the arts and scholarship, and created with an aesthetic he is passionate about. The iconography used is a collection of graphic elements specifically aimed at showcasing the intersection of artistic creativity and the exploration of the world around us through a pursuit and love of knowledge. Inspiration for the unique design is deeply personal. It includes academic subjects that captivated Jaden’s interest such as world history, mathematics and physics plus Mystery School - Jaden's library and learning centre which serves as a platform for guest lecturers to educate the community on a wide range of topics from sustainability to mathematics. Jaden Smith, said: “I have such a connection with Formula E. I absolutely loved coming back for my second E-Prix, even more, being able to design my own GEN3 livery.

USA AND GERMANY BATTLE FOR LEAD IN FORMULA E WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

Formula E heads stateside for a debut race in Portland, Oregon where the fight for the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship title is heating up as only six points separate the top three drivers going into Round 12 of the 16-race season. Driver Jake Dennis of US-based Avalanche Andretti Formula E Team will be going all out to overcome the one-point gap separating him and championship leader Pascal Wehrlein of TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team in the 2023 Southwire Portland E-Prix this Saturday. Britain’s Dennis is sure to have the home crowd on his side and has consistently finished on the podium throughout Season 9 with one win and seven top-three finishes in the 11 races to date. Long-time standings leader Wehrlein lost his top spot in Monaco but reclaimed his authority with a controlled victory the next time out in Round 10 in Jakarta, leading home his closest rival Dennis. That was his first win – and podium - since Round 3 in Diriyah while Nick Cassidy (Envision Racing) hit a rich run of form, overcoming the German in the standings with a win in Monaco. After maintaining the lead for several rounds, Cassidy now finds himself third in the standings, just five points back from second-place Dennis. A disastrous weekend in Indonesia after back-to-back podiums in Monaco and Berlin just weeks before meant Mitch Evans (Jaguar TCS Racing) fell out of the top-three in the standings with just 15 points from more than 50 on offer in the Jakarta double-header. Evans sits 19 points behind Cassidy but remains firmly in the championship picture. In Rounds 11 and 12 one driver found himself at the top of every timed session in Jakarta, a first in Formula E history for Maserati MSG Racing's Maximilian Günther. The German driver clicked instantly with the circuit and dominated the timed sessions on the way to his first Julius Bär Pole Position. He repeated this performance on Sunday with a second pole and secured a historic race win, becoming the only driver to win from pole in the past 14 races and sealing the first victory for Maserati in a world championship single seater race since the legendary Juan Manuel Fangio won at Nurburgring back in 1957. NEW VENUE IN THE USA: Formula E is gearing up for a sixth visit to the United States of America with a debut race at the Portland International Raceway (PIR) and the 2023 Southwire Portland E-Prix. The all-electric series has raced in America every season since its inception in 2014. From Miami to Long Beach to New York City, Formula E has introduced world class electric racing to all corners of the country. Heading to eco-friendly Portland in the Northwest, the net-zero championship is set to introduce a whole new set of potential fans to the leading global electric racing series, as well as its drive for clean, sustainable EV tech. The Portland International Raceway is a familiar pitstop for American motorsport series such as IndyCar, and the layout has a history of providing some close battles. In 1997, the premier American single-seater series saw the closest three-way finish on a road course as Mark Blundell bested Gil de Ferran and Raul Boesel by half a tenth of a second. The Raceway officially came into being back in the 1970s after several decades as a ruin. The track was established after wide-spread flooding destroyed an entire town, leaving behind nothing but roads that could be used only as a racetrack during Portland's iconic Rose Festival. The track became a home for professional motorsport in 1975 when the Trans-Am Series began competing at the track, and in the decades that followed, IndyCar and the NASCAR Truck Series followed suit. The track saw a significant slowdown in competition during the 2000s and 2010s, but it has since been revived as a coveted racing venue for IndyCar and the NASCAR Xfinity Series in the past few years. Now, Formula E is set to join the long list of prestigious series to hit Portland’s pavement, and the series is ready to make history as the track's first all-electric race. The track is one of the longest Formula E has ever raced on, measuring at 3.190km. The track differs slightly to that used in the IndyCar series with Formula E and the FIA choosing to add 20 metres to Turn One. This is one significant track change that is set to make this weekend’s race a thrilling watch.

TOKYO CONFIRMED TO HOST FORMULA E RACE NEXT SEASON

The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will race on the streets of Tokyo for the first time next March as the series targets more world cities to host debut races in its landmark tenth season. The provisional calendar for Season 10 was published today by Formula E and the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) following ratification by the FIA World Motor Sport Council and with the support of local ASNs (National Sporting Authorities) for each host city. The race in Tokyo on Saturday, 30 March 2024 will be the first FIA-sanctioned world championship motorsport event held in Tokyo. Twenty-two drivers from 11 teams will race the innovative GEN3 race car – the fastest, lightest, most powerful and efficient electric race car ever built – on roads around the Tokyo Big Sight convention centre on the Tokyo Bay waterfront. Formula E and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government have been working together to bring the race to the city to support the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) initiative, part of the Zero Emission Tokyo strategy. The city has a climate action plan that aims to achieve net zero CO2 emissions by 2050. Governor of Tokyo, Yuriko Koike, said: “I am delighted by the official decision that Tokyo will host a Formula E race in March 2024. Centering on spreading the use of zero emission vehicles, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government is accelerating actions in all realms to realize Zero Emission Tokyo, an environmentally advanced city that does not emit carbon dioxide. Formula E is held in major cities around the world as a road race for electric vehicles which do not emit exhaust gas or engine noise. “This race will be held around Tokyo Big Sight in Tokyo’s bay area, where developments are underway to become a sustainable next generation city. Let’s all look forward to seeing up close the dynamism of this race to be held for the first time in Japan and cheer the racers on. The race will not only add momentum to the spread of zero emission vehicles but will also provide a wonderful opportunity to enhance Tokyo’s international presence by showing the attractions of our city to the world. Tokyo will join forces with the organisers and others related to the race to ensure its success.” Season 10 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will begin in Mexico City on Saturday, 13 January following the success of a sold-out opening race to begin Season 9. Three rounds of the 17-race provisional calendar are listed as To Be Determined (TBD) while Formula E continues advanced discussions with a range of potential host cities that would see the championship create more showpiece race events in iconic global locations. This weekend, Formula E will debut in Portland, Oregon, and will return next season when Portland will host the final international race before the championship concludes in London in late July. Formula E will also return to São Paulo after a successful inaugural race this season. Berlin will maintain its record as the only city to host an E-Prix in all ten seasons of the championship, consolidating its reputation as a popular venue for drivers and fans who witnessed a record-breaking 190 overtakes and 23 lead changes in Round 7 this season. Diriyah will again host the only night race double-header on the calendar while Monaco, Rome and Jakarta complete the calendar of named host cities. Alberto Longo, Co-Founder & Chief Championship Officer, Formula E, said: “We are excited to take Formula E to the streets of Tokyo next season. It is an iconic world city providing the perfect backdrop to showcase the unique qualities of our sport and will capture global attention. The Season 10 calendar represents our ongoing mission to create a dynamic schedule of new cities hosting races for the first or second time like Tokyo, São Paulo and Portland alongside established hosts like Berlin, Rome, London, Monaco, Diriyah and now Jakarta.” Jeff Dodds, Chief Executive Officer, Formula E, said: “Tokyo will be a highlight of our historic tenth season. We are also in advanced discussions with many more iconic world cities who are keen to host a Formula E race and create blockbuster world championship motorsport events with us. We expect this to be reflected in the updated calendar published later this year.” Marek Nawarecki, Director of FIA Circuit Sport Department, said: “This calendar is an illustration of Formula E’s continuing growth and promises to treat fans to another season of superb racing with the new GEN3 car, which has already produced countless crowd-pleasing battles. The schedule offers an appealing blend of established Formula E favourites like Mexico City, Rome, Monaco, Berlin and London and popular recent additions such as São Paulo and Jakarta. We are also delighted that the championship will visit Japan for the first time. This will also increase the series presence and impact in Asia, which is important for many manufacturers.”

Maximilian Günther claims first win for Maserati in single-seat motorsport since 1957 with victory in ABB FIA Formula E World Championship race

Maserati MSG Racing driver Maximilian Günther converted a second consecutive Julius Bär Pole Position into the race win in Jakarta, returning Maserati to the top step of the podium in single-seater motorsport for the first time since 1957. The second race of the 2023 GulaVit Jakarta E-Prix double-header saw German Günther claim his fourth win in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship and his first in the iconic blue livery of legendary automaker Maserati. The last time the trident was seen on the top step of a single-seater championship was in 1957 when the legendary Juan Manuel Fangio won the German Grand Prix on his way to that year’s Formula One title. Günther was followed home by Jake Dennis (Avalanche Andretti Formula E Team) who started and finished second in both races on Formula E’s return to Indonesia. The points haul moves Dennis to within just one point of standings leader, Pascal Wehrlein (TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team). Following a dramatic first race in which he was hit by his own teammate, leaving the Jaguar TCS Racing team pointless on the day, Mitch Evans recovered superbly to produce a classy defensive drive and round out the podium places in third. Envision Racing’s Nick Cassidy lost his championship lead to the previous day’s race winner Pascal Wehrlein – who finished sixth – after an ill-judged overtake led to contact and a point-less day. Cassidy now trails Dennis by five points with six points separating the top three drivers in a hugely tight tussle for the title. With Günther starting pole for the second day, the young German was looking to turn a promising Saturday drive and podium into his fourth race victory and he looked assured from the off as he held position in the opening stages. With a clear race strategy, he appeared happy to hold fire behind Dennis once the Brit had taken the lead through the first round of ATTACK MODE activations. The telling switch came as Günther held off on his second jolt of ATTACK MODE when Dennis blinked first. The German was able to generate a gap enough to leapfrog the Avalanche Andretti driver by the time he made the dive for his final 50kW boost on Lap 18. The Maserati MSG Racing driver was able to stretch to a lead of 2.822 seconds on Dennis by the chequered flag and more than 18 seconds on Evans. Nobody had won by more than two seconds in the GEN3 era since Dennis' season-opening victory in Mexico City and that margin was the largest in the last 10 rounds. Drama struck the standings leader Cassidy who had only failed to score once this season, with 13th in Diriyah, but he made a costly slip in trying to pass title rival Wehrlein on Lap 20. His car damaged, he was shuffled to the back of the pack and 19th position. The Nissan pair of Sacha Fenestraz and Norman Nato made late-race progress to seal fourth and fifth from seventh and 12th on the grid, respectively. Fenestraz’s move on reigning champion Stoffel Vandoorne (DS PENSKE) caught the Belgian unawares into the hairpin, with his teammate Nato able to follow. That pass saw Vandoorne fall back to an eventual ninth as Wehrlein, António Félix da Costa (TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team) and Edoardo Mortara (Maserati MSG Racing) were able to ease past for sixth, seventh and eighth. Envision Racing's disappointing afternoon saw only a point head their way, with Sebastien Buemi rounding out the top 10. TAG Heuer Porsche lead the way in the Teams' standings with 212 pts, pulling further clear of Envision Racing who sit on 190 pts with Jaguar TCS Racing third on 171 pts. Five races remain in Season 9 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship with the next stop on June 24 a fourth debut city for the series this season - the 2023 Southwire Portland E-Prix. Maximilian Günther, No. 7, Maserati MSG Racing, said: “Very proud moment, I am over the moon with this victory - already yesterday was great with another podium. We have made such good progress over the past couple of races, it is fantastic, and to take my first win here in Jakarta is outstanding. I am just so happy. “We felt really good from FP1 onwards, so the package is working here it was just about executing it and keep shooting in the right direction. We always took the right decisions this weekend. Yesterday we didn't have enough, but today we did. It is just amazing. “In Formula E you always need to keep your feet on the ground, like life in general! It can change so quickly, I am just really enjoying this moment here, I know there will be tracks that suit us more, there will be tracks that suit us less. We try to always maximise our package, that is what we have been doing the past few races. I am very proud.” Jake Dennis, No. 27, Avalanche Andretti Formula E, said: “I am happy, a lot happier than yesterday. Really good race to be honest, glad I could keep the P2 at the start. Honestly pretty well maximised, I think we didn't quite get the second ATTACK MODE right, ultimately the Maserati was so fast over one lap today, and when he pushed he created the gap, which basically did the overcut on me and got track position again. It would have been difficult to keep him behind. “I am happy, P2, 18 points - 19 with the fastest lap - hopefully we can keep building on this, keep scoring big points in Portland. It is going to be a big race for us, home race. I am looking forward to it. “I just got told on the radio that Nick (Cassidy) DNF'd, which is obviously useful for us and obviously Pascal was P6. Really good points, important for the championship, but there are obviously so many races to go, five rounds left. All to play for but I am very much looking forward to it.” Mitch Evans, No. 9, Jaguar TCS Racing, said: “[I am] a bit speechless because it was a massive turnaround from yesterday, I wasn't expecting this today at all. I struggled a lot during the race with my efficiency, and a bit of pace, and I feel like we were looking good half-way through but once Max and Jake put their foot down I just couldn't keep up. It was a bit of a road block, but I hung on and really needed these points after yesterday. The confetti on the podium will taste good. “In the range I was in I was doing a lot of coasting, and it just left me very exposed to Stoffel and the guys behind. The pace was slow and so I felt like I was up against the corner but luckily I was able to hang on and towards the end it got a little bit easier. I was able to under-consume and hit the targets up a bit. Hung on and I guess that's the main thing.” The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship returns to the USA on Saturday, 24 June for the 2023 Southwire Portland E-Prix, the first time Formula E has raced in the city.

Wehrlein wins in Jakarta as ABB FIA Formula E World Championship returns to Indonesia following last season’s debut

A cool and collected drive by Pascal Wehrlein delivered a win in the soaring heat of race one in the Gulavit Jakarta E-Prix double-header, propelling his TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team back to the top of the Teams’ championship. Wehrlein led home Jake Dennis (Avalanche Andretti Formula E Team), who reacted strongly after the race claiming the Porsche driver made a “ridiculous” manoeuvre forcing Dennis to take evasive action. Maserati MSG Racing driver Maximilian Günther stayed in the leading pack throughout the race, finishing third. He started in Julius Bär Pole Position, the first Maserati pole in single-seater motorsport since 1958. In the first race of the double-header in Jakarta, Wehrlein started third and traded places for the lead with polesitter Maximilian Günther over the opening third of the E-Prix, having first made his way by his compatriot on Lap 4. From Lap 12 and the second ATTACK MODE activation, Wehrlein was able to manage things comfortably in the most trying conditions on a hot and humid afternoon where temperatures reached the mid-30s Celsius. Dennis started second and finished second, with not quite enough in his Avalanche Andretti to overpower Wehrlein’s factory Porsche 99X Electric. His push for the front was compromised by a late-race push from Günther, who pressured the Brit for second, allowing Wehrlein some breathing room. Ultimately, Günther could not find a way through. The DS PENSKE teammates Stoffel Vandoorne and Jean-Éric Vergne came home fourth and fifth respectively with Günther's Maserati MSG Racing teammate Edoardo Mortara sixth. Standings leader Nick Cassidy (Envision Racing) tried his best to outdo defensive maestro Vergne mid-way through the race. He had a lucky escape as he made a move from a long way back on an unsighted Vergne on Lap 20, narrowly avoiding damage to both front corners of his car, finishing seventh. Season 6 champion António Félix da Costa (TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team) finished eighth, some 15 seconds behind Cassidy. Robin Frijns doubled-down on an impressive qualifying performance by securing ABT CUPRA Formula E Team's first points of the season with a ninth place finish. Jake Hughes rounded out the top 10 for NEOM McLaren Formula E Team, earning him the ABB Driver of Progress Award for making up the most places in the race after starting back in 20th on the grid. However, it was another frustrating outing for Jaguar TCS Racing as their cars came to blows again, as they did in Hyderabad, with Sam Bird sending Mitch Evans spinning out of eighth position and crucial points late on in the race. Two victories and a second place on the first three races of Season 9 put Wehrlein to the top of the Drivers’ championship. However, since his last win in Round 3, Wehrlein failed to make the podium until today while Cassidy hit form and took the lead in the standings with his win in Monaco, the race before Jakarta. Todays’ win means Wehrlein is just two points behind Cassidy who is on 128pts in the standings while TAG Heuer Porsche leapfrogged Envision Racing at the top of the Teams' running with a nine point advantage on 198pts. Pascal Wehrlein, No. 94, TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team, said: “It feels awesome obviously. A very good race, qualifying was much better than in previous races. Thanks a lot to the team, the car was awesome today, I was leading almost the whole race. It was not so easy on energy for me, I knew that the guys behind had a little bit more, and also driving in the slipstream helps. But I think we defended well and happy to be back on top. The team definitely deserves it and now we are looking forward to tomorrow. “The last couple of races we were not where we wanted to be, hadn't scored the points we wanted and qualifying was an issue for us. Today with P3 we qualified in the best position so far this season. A big turnaround for us in the last couple of weeks, and like I said thanks a lot to the team for all their hard work. Still a long way to go.” Jake Dennis, No. 27, Avalanche Andretti Formula E, said: “Pretty annoyed to be honest. You are obviously having a good season if you're annoyed with second, but the start lost me the race ultimately, we had way too much wheelspin on the dust and dropped back to fourth. The manoeuvre with Pascal was ridiculous, I had to hit so much pressure to avoid hitting the back of him. I don't know how he got away with that to be honest - it's ridiculous. The other two guys did it perfectly, they left just us space on one car, which is the rule, and then Pascal just completely swerved all up to the wall and I had to slam on the breaks half way down the straight. He had already committed to lifting and at that point you have to leave space, and he didn't. We can't protest against them because they also have a Porsche powertrain. A bit ridiculous. “[Tomorrow we need to] start at the clean side of the grid. Qualifying is super important, I actually didn't expect the race to go like that it was flat out from the start. We have a really quick qualifying car - not quite as quick as Max's - but ultimately if we can start on the front two rows we can obviously win the race tomorrow. 18 points is huge, we beat some of our main rivals, and we go again tomorrow.” Maximilian Günther, No. 7, Maserati MSG Racing, said: “I am happy. For sure we always want to win, as a racing driver when you start on pole you want to win. We were leading for a few laps, but we just didn't have enough to beat the two Porsche guys. From the beginning they did a fantastic job, congratulations to Jake and Pascal. I had a few small issues, the car was not as perfect as it was the rest of the weekend, but still a good race car underneath me and happy with what we achieved today and this weekend, fantastic to be on the podium again. It was the maximum today, and we try to keep improving.” Tomorrow, Sunday 4 June, it’s Round 11 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship and the second race in the 2023 GulaVit Jakarta E-Prix double-header at 3pm Indonesia time (9am UK).

The Porsche Carrera Cup Asia returns to Korea as the season heats up

Following the season’s stunning debut in Sepang, the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia is now heading to Korea International Circuit for the first time since 2015, for Rounds 3 and 4. Korea’s top track hosts the Carrera Cup once again The Porsche Carrera Cup Asia’s first and only trip to Korea’s premier racing circuit was eight years ago in 2015. On that occasion, Chris van der Drift won both races on the way to his first of three Carrera Cup Asia championship wins. van der Drift is back in the series this year, and currently sitting second in the championship rankings, hoping for a repeat performance. Korea International Circuit was designed by legendary track designer Hermann Tilke. With a total of 18 turns, and the back half of the course consisting of a winding series of left and right hand bends, Korea International Circuit was inspired by street racing circuits, giving off a feeling of high-speed urban driving. The long straight between turns 2 and 3 ensure that there’s plenty of scope to build up speed in between the labyrinthine twists and turns. Series veterans kept from the top spot in the season so far… With its return to international racing meaning the return of international drivers, the Carrera Cup Asia’s 20-year anniversary season was always destined to see a thrilling clash between the returning series veterans and the newcomers who made their mark during the pandemic years. Sitting pretty at the top of the table after the first two rounds is one of our fresh-faced drivers, TORO Racing’s Luo Kailuo. The young Chinese driver made his series debut in 2022, finishing the season in second after an impressive number of podium finishes. Luo Kailuo returned to the series this year with his sights set on the championship and raced a near-perfect season opener, taking home both victories to put himself comfortably in the lead. Tied for second place behind him, we have the aforementioned Chris van der Drift driving for Team Shanghai Yongda, and making his series debut this year Meidong Racing’s Florian Latorre. In the Pro-Am category, we have Porsche Beijing Central & Goldenport’s Zhou Bihuang leading the pack. Zhou made his series debut in 2021, coming in third in the Pro-Am championship, and is now in his third consecutive Carrera Cup Asia season. Just behind Zhou Bihuang we have TORO Racing’s Eric Zang, who graduated to the series this year having spent a number of seasons honing his skills in the Porsche Sports Cup China. Third in the Pro-Am category is three-time Pro-Am champion Bao Jinlong, one of our series veterans who missed out on winning the championship last year, and has returned to the series this season with a renewed hunger to reclaim his title. The action in the Am category is also already heating up, with newcomer Yang Ruoyu with BD Group topping the table, followed by 2021 Am category champion and 2022 runner up KiddyWorld Racing’s Eric Kwong. Eric is another of our series veterans, with a long history in the Carrera Cup Asia. The Porsche Dealer Trophy has TORO Racing comfortably topping the points table, with Luo Kailuo’s two wins earning the team 50 points. Team Shanghai Yongda are in second on 37 points, thanks to their driver Chris van der Drift’s solid season opener, while Meidong Racing are in third on 34 points following Florian Latorre’s impressive series debut.

FIRST FORMULA E DOUBLE-HEADER IN INDONESIA - HOW TO WATCH THE 2023 GULAVIT JAKARTA E-PRIX

Formula E returns to Jakarta this weekend with Nick Cassidy and his Envision Racing team both leading the ABB FIA Formula World Championship standings after powering past long-time leader Pascal Wehrlein and his TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team last time out in Monaco. Following the championship’s debut in Indonesia last season and the huge welcome from fans who packed the area around the Jakarta International E-Prix Circuit in Ancol Beach, the 2023 Gulavit Jakarta E-Prix has expanded to a double-header with Rounds 10 and 11 taking place this weekend (Saturday, 3 June and Sunday, 4 June). Indonesia is home to 273 million people and a huge contingent of motorsport fans who made last year’s debut the most-watched live race by a domestic audience in Formula E history. This year, fans will see the Southeast Asia debut of the GEN3 – the fastest, lightest, most powerful and efficient electric race car ever built. They will also be hoping for more twists in the storyline of this season’s gripping championship following Kiwi Cassidy’s storming drive from ninth on the grid in Monaco to win the race and go top of the standings. Cassidy led home Mitch Evans (Jaguar TCS Racing) and was under severe duress from his countryman and factory Jaguar driver until a late-race Safety Car made the win certain. Like a 150mph game of chess, the race in Monaco ebbed and flowed as leaders vied for control and to set the pace but Cassidy's decisive early-race moves yielded the ultimate result, with the Kiwi placing his I-TYPE 6 perfectly around the outside of three rival cars at the Fairmont Hairpin on Lap 4 and managing to hit the front as early as Lap 7 through the first round of ATTACK MODE activations. Once his engineer gave the green light for a six-lap sprint finish, Cassidy didn't look back, despite the close attention of Evans who finished in second. That victory leaves Cassidy on 121 pts, 20 pts clear of TAG Heuer Porsche's long-time leader Wehrlein in the Drivers' table. Wehrlein had led the way from Rounds 2 and 3 in Diriyah but a downturn in form for the German has opened the door to the Jaguar-powered Envision and the factory Jaguar TCS Racing outfit, spearheaded by Evans - last year's winner in Indonesia. Jake Dennis (Avalanche Andretti) is in third place in the standings on 96 pts following a return to form in Monaco with third place in the race. Evans is just two points back on 94 pts. Jean-Éric Vergne in the DS PENSKE did enough to leave Monaco fifth in the running after a stunning recovery from the very back of the pack to finish seventh. In the Teams’ standings, Envision Racing has leapt to the top on 182 pts, 14 pts ahead of TAG Heuer Porsche on 169 pts, while Jaguar TCS Racing sits third on 156 pts. The Porsche 99X Electric still has the performance within but unlocking it consistently over a lap and in qualifying appears to be an ongoing and potentially costly issue, especially with new standings leader Cassidy sealing two wins and four further podiums in the last six rounds. The GulaVit Jakarta E-Prix double-header offers plenty of points for all that to change. Everyone from Vergne upwards in the title race is in with a shot of heading into the final third of the inaugural GEN3 campaign on top. Saturday’s race will be 36 laps and 38 laps on Sunday’s race, meaning teams and drivers will need to adjust their race strategies across the double-header weekend. RETURN TO A NEW FORMULA E FAVOURITE: Formula E’s 11 teams and 22 drivers faced a new challenge at the Jakarta International E-Prix Circuit last season. The purpose-built street track brings the best elements of street racing to picturesque Ancol Beach – Southeast Asia’s largest park, welcoming some 40,000 visitors a day. Unique banked sections, undulations, bumps and a mix of technical and high-speed sections will provide a real test. A sellout crowd enjoyed the inaugural encounter in the city last year complete with a city festival. The 2.37km, 18-turn circuit kicks off with a tight opening sector after a long run down the start/finish straight. There is plenty of room for manoeuvre into the right hander at Turn 1 before drivers head into a flowing series of turns that swoop by Ancol Beach City. The final sector is a tricky complex following a fast right-hander at Turn 12 and another long straight into what will be a busy Turn 13 hairpin. An awkward left-hander at Turn 18 rounds out the lap with a strong slingshot required down the long home straight. The circuit's development is aimed at leaving a lasting legacy in the city, breathing new life into Ancol Beach and kickstarting the city’s post-pandemic tourism comeback. City authorities have also earmarked the location as a potential centre for innovation as Indonesia drives towards a complete EV transition by 2050. The event will be 100% powered by sustainably-sourced HVO and as ever in the world’s first net zero sport, the 2023 GulaVit Jakarta E-Prix is a net zero carbon event. Formula E will measure, reduce, and offset all its unavoidable emissions by investing in renewable energy production. LAST TIME OUT IN JAKARTA: It was uncharted territory for the championship’s grid of 22 world-class drivers on Formula E's first visit in 2022, but the huge crowd at the venue and record-breaking live TV audience saw three drivers crossing the line within a second. Mitch Evans (Jaguar TCS Racing) fended off the close attentions of Jean-Éric Vergne and Edoardo Mortara to take his third win of Season 8.

FORMULA E Announces Leadership Transition

Formula E today announces that Jamie Reigle will step down as Chief Executive Officer. Over the last four years, Reigle has led Formula E in partnership with Founder and Chairman, Alejandro Agag, and will now move to an advisory role for the remainder of the season to ensure a seamless leadership transition. Appointed in 2019, Reigle navigated the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship through the pandemic, built a multi-disciplined executive team and introduced a series of initiatives that underpin Formula E’s strategic position and ongoing development. During his tenure, Reigle oversaw the introduction of a new sporting format that has been met with the universal enthusiasm of fans, teams and partners, the launch of the GEN3 car and the implementation of technical, commercial and financial regulations that reinforce the business model of Formula E’s teams and manufacturers. The Board of Formula E is pleased to announce the appointment of Jeff Dodds as CEO, starting 5 June. Dodds joins from Virgin Media O2 and will lead the next phase of Formula E's growth as the first electric motorsport world championship and driving force behind sustainability in elite sport. Dodds has a proven track record in building dynamic media businesses. He served as Chief Operating Officer at Virgin Media O2 for the past two years and prior to that he held leadership positions at Virgin Media as COO, Managing Director and Chief Marketing Officer. He also spent two years living and working in the Netherlands as CEO of telecoms business Tele2. Dodds has held executive roles at Callaway Golf and Honda, while today he sits on the board of the disability equality organisation, The Valuable 500, and is a Non-Executive Director of the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities. Alejandro Agag, Founder and Chairman, Formula E, said: “I am pleased to welcome Jeff Dodds as Chief Executive Officer ahead of an exciting phase for Formula E as we build upon the success of Season 9. Jeff brings a proven track record of dynamic leadership and impressive execution to Formula E, and the Board looks forward to him unlocking the full potential of Formula E, for the benefit of our fans, teams, manufacturers, partners and stakeholders. “I would like to thank Jamie for his leadership over the last four years and welcome his support over the remainder of the season. I enjoyed partnering with Jamie to build upon my founding vision while reimagining the definition of success for Formula E. It has been a pleasure working with him and I look forward to welcoming him back at Formula E races in the future.” Jeff Dodds, Chief Executive Officer, Formula E, said: “I am thrilled to take on the role of CEO at Formula E. My passion for automotive, sport and entertainment means I am incredibly excited about this opportunity. Formula E is a unique platform that blends cutting-edge technology with the world’s most sustainable sport, providing endless potential for innovation and positive change. There is a world-class team at Formula E and I am excited to lead them into the next chapter, shaping the future of motorsport and redefining what is possible.” Jamie Reigle said: “It has been an honour leading Formula E for the last four years. I was initially attracted to Formula E’s unique position as a sport at the intersection of innovation, sustainability and electric mobility. What I found was far more ambitious and humbling; a passionate group of people committed to building a global sport while changing the world. This mission continues under new leadership and as someone who benefitted from a partnership with Alejandro I’m happy to support Jeff before reverting to life as a passionate Formula E fan.”
