Stuttgart, Germany – At the official test days for the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship at Valencia the countdown to the new season gets underway for the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team. At the Circuit Ricardo Tormo, all 12 teams in the innovative electric race series will spend the days between 28 November and 1 December preparing for the start of the season in Santiago de Chile. The first two races of Season 7 are scheduled to take place in the South American city on 16 and 17 January 2021.
For the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team, the five test sessions overall in Spain are an important assessment of where it stands ahead of its second season in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, and a welcome opportunity to subject the Porsche 99X Electric to a final endurance test. The electric racing car has been undergoing continuous development from the engineers in Weissach and has been given a new powertrain. As regular drivers, André Lotterer (DE/car #36) and Pascal Wehrlein (DE/car #99) will be taking the wheel at Valencia. Wehrlein will represent Porsche for the first time in the upcoming season. Simona De Silvestro (CH) and Neel Jani (CH) are the reserve drivers for 2021.
Formula E will travel to the Circuit Ricardo Tormo for the fourth time for its official test days before the season officially gets underway. The track, originally designed for motorcycle races, was temporarily adapted to meet Formula E requirements with an additional chicane but this has been removed again to reduce the risk of damaging the cars because they will be shipped from Valencia straight to Santiago de Chile. Instead of the chicane, an innovative track limits system will be installed in various turns.
