TOKYO E-PRIX: TWO RACES AND A DOUBLE POINTS-SCORING OPPORTUNITY FOR DS AUTOMOBILES
  • The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will visit Tokyo in Japan this weekend for a double-header

 

  • DS Automobiles et PENSKE AUTOSPORT are currently fourth in the manufacturers’ standings, with the aim of maximising their score thanks to the talent of team drivers Jean-Eric Vergne and Maximilian Günther

 

  • Maximilian Günther, last year’s winner in Japan, will benefit from an extra boost in confidence on the demanding circuit located around Tokyo Big Sight

 

The 11 teams that make up the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will convene in Tokyo this weekend from May 17-18 for rounds eight and nine of Season 11.

Situated around the Tokyo Big Sight exhibition centre, the 2.5-kilometre Japanese track consists of long straights, tight corners, and fast sequences that combine to make up a very technical layout.

At the mid-point of the season, the all-electric championship remains extremely intense and closely-fought. DS Automobiles and PENSKE AUTOSPORT aims to be back on the provisional podium of the teams’ championship at the end of this weekend’s double-header.

The French-American team can rely on the performance of their DS E-TENSE FE25 cars as well as on the know-how of Jean-Eric Vergne, Formula E’s only double champion, and Maximilian Günther: the big winner of the Tokyo E-Prix in 2024.

The races will take place next Saturday and Sunday at 08:00 CET (15:00 local time).

Eugenio Franzetti, DS Performance director :

“We can’t wait to get to Tokyo and be able to fight to get back onto the championship podium. Despite some good preparation and plenty of work, we didn’t score many points from the last three races. So we need to get back on course and look for better results. I know that we have the means to do it, as our DS E-TENSE FE25 is competitive and our driver line-up unequalled!”

 

Key figures since DS Automobiles entered Formula E:

  • 128 races
  • 4 championship titles
  • 17 victories
  • 52 podiums
  • 25 pole positions
