Nissan Formula E Team charged up for season kicker in Mexico City

MANILA: The 2023 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will begin this weekend in Mexico City, and the Nissan Formula E Team will compete in the first race of the Gen3 era.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What are the new specifications of the Gen 3 Formula E series?

    The 2022 - 2023 season will be a significant turning point for the championship thanks to more power, faster speeds, and a distinctive car design. In addition, the series has scheduled travels to Hyderabad, Cape Town, Sao Paulo, and Portland during the course of the 16-round schedule.
  • As Season 9 begins, drivers Norman Nato and Sacha Fenestraz will make their Formula E Team debuts at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodriguez. The 2023 Mexico City E-Prix is anticipated to be one of the most unexpected in Formula E history following the implementation of the revolutionary Gen3 regulations.

    "We've not had too much time between testing in Valencia and the first race, so we've been busy analyzing data from the programs we ran and making adjustments to our car," said Tommaso Volpe, General Manager, Nissan Formula E and Managing Director, Nissan Formula E Team.

    "One of the most important factors this weekend will be to finally see how each team will adapt to the new technologies in the Gen3 car, as we're all starting from scratch in that sense. We're really focused and looking to implement everything we learned in Valencia for a smooth weekend with the new car and systems. It's exciting as it will be the first time we see everybody's true pace and how each team manages every key performance factor in the car. We'll be aiming to start the season strongly and set ourselves on a path to grow throughout the campaign."

    Nissan Formula E Team will compete as a single unit for the first time in the upcoming season, donning a striking new livery with a cherry blossom motif. The flower is a representation of fresh starts, and in 2023, both the squad and the championship will usher in new eras.

    The 2022 - 2023 season will be a significant turning point for the championship thanks to more power, faster speeds, and a distinctive car design. In addition, the series has scheduled travels to Hyderabad, Cape Town, Sao Paulo, and Portland during the course of the 16-round schedule.

    Nissan Formula E

    Nissan has a long history in the automotive industry in Mexico, where it employs over 15,000 people and recently marked 60 years of business. Cuernavaca served as the location of Nissan's first production facility outside of Japan, and more than 14 million Nissan vehicles have been produced there overall.

    In Season 5 of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship in 2018, Nissan made their all-electric racing debut, becoming the first and only Japanese manufacturer to compete in the sport.

    Nissan races in Formula E to convey the thrill and fun of zero-emission electric automobiles to a global audience. Nissan plans to electrify every all-new vehicle it offers by the early 2030s in major markets as part of its objective to achieve carbon neutrality across its operations and the life cycle of its products by 2050. The Japanese manufacturer wants to improve electric vehicles for consumers by utilizing its experience in moving information and technology from the racetrack to the road.

    The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship became the first global sport to be accredited with a net zero carbon footprint from conception back in 2020, having invested in approved climate-protecting initiatives in all race markets to offset emissions from every season of electric racing.

    All of the vehicles competing in the championship are electric-powered, and the series serves as a platform for testing and developing the newest in electric technology.
