CHAMPIONS JOIN NEW DS PENSKE FORMULA E LINE-UP
Reigning Formula E champion Stoffel Vandoorne will join Frenchman Jean-Eric Vergne at the revamped DS team next season, which has confirmed its link with Penske for the maiden Gen 3 contest.
DS had previously partnered with Techeetach for its racing programme but has now formalised its links with the Dragon Penske team for the 20222023 campaign and onwards.
DS director of performance Thomas Chevaucher told Autosport: “The start of a new association is always a big moment, and all of us at DS Performance are eager to begin this new adventure with Penske Autosport.
“We are starting this partnership in the best possible way by having two champions in the team. Thanks to
Stoffel and Jean-Eric, we probably have one of the best line-ups and also the fastest pairing on the grid.”
The NIO 333 team has also confirmed that Briton Dan Ticktum will remain with the squad in 2022-2023. Ticktum will join Sergio Sette Camara at the team, which means that former McLaren tester Oliver Turvey is out of a seat.
The 2022-2023 Formula E season is due to kick off with a round in
Mexico on January 14, 2023.
