MONACO E-PRIX: DS AUTOMOBILES GETS READY FOR THE FORMULA E’S MOST PRESTIGIOUS WEEKEND OF THE SEASON

• The principality of Monaco will host rounds six and seven of ABB FIA Formula E World Championship Season 11 this weekend

• Having previously won at Monaco in 2019 and 2021, the DS Automobiles brand is aiming to use all its experience and know-how to shine once more on the streets of the principality

• The new 100% electric flagship from DS Automobiles, the N°8, will be presented to the public in a livery that has been specially designed for the occasion

From May 3-4 this weekend, the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will host the very first Monaco double-header in the history of 100% electric motorsport. As a result, this year’s Monaco E-Prix will be twice as intense for the 11 teams on the grid of the all-electric series, both when it comes to competition and surprises!

DS Automobiles, which won on the famous street circuit for the first time in 2019 with Jean-Eric Vergne and then again in 2021 with Antonio Felix Da Costa, is aiming to perform strongly once more this weekend. Together with PENSKE AUTOSPORT, the premium French brand from the Stellantis Group is targeting a top-three finish thanks to the extensive know-how of ‘Jev’ and his team mate Maximilian Günther : the winner in Jeddah.

An added bonus at this exceptional E-Prix will be the new N°8 from DS Automobiles, presented by DS Automobiles in a specially-designed livery. N°8 – the marque’s latest 100% electric flagship, which benefits from concepts and elements that come directly from Formula E – will complete a few laps of the famous track before the opening race.

The eighth Monaco E-Prix will take place on Saturday 3 May (Race 1) and Sunday 4 May (Race 2) at 15:00 CET.

Eugenio Franzetti, DS Performance director:

“The Monaco E-Prix is undoubtedly the most important race weekend of the season for  DS Automobiles! It’s a legendary track where we’ve written some of the most beautiful chapters in our history, and our goal is to shine once more this weekend. Thanks to the performance of our DS E-TENSE FE25 and the talents of our drivers, we’re more than capable of bringing home some great results.”
