Nissan Formula E Team Primed for Season Opener in Mexico City

Nissan Formula E Team is ready for the opening round of the 2023/24 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship this weekend, the Mexico City E-Prix. The squad will field a line-up of Sacha Fenestraz, entering his second season with the team, and Oliver Rowland, with the Brit returning to the Japanese outfit following a previous stint between Seasons 5 and 7.

Having debuted in Season 2, the Mexico City E-Prix is a recurring fixture in the Formula E calendar, being held every year since its inception with the exception of 2021. At 2,250 meters above sea level, the track presents a unique challenge to both car and driver. The lower air density will lead to a 25% reduction in both drag and downforce compared to sea level, making it one of the fastest tracks in the series. Drivers will need to cope with low levels of grip and oxygen while navigating the circuit, which includes the technical section at the legendary Foro Sol Stadium, leading into the sweeping, high-speed Peraltada curve.

The event marks the beginning of a milestone 10th Formula E season, and since Nissan joined the grid in 2018, the team has quickly established itself as a crowd favorite in Mexico. This was highlighted in a recent brand study conducted by the championship, where Nissan Formula E Team was rated as the number one squad by the passionate Mexican fans.

Nissan has a rich history in Mexico, having operated there for more than 60 years. Since establishing its first manufacturing plant outside of Japan in the country in 1966, Nissan has gone on to produce 14 million vehicles and 15 million engines, for both local and foreign markets. The Mexico City E-Prix is another opportunity to deepen Nissan’s important connection with the nation.

Tommaso Volpe, managing director and team principal, Nissan Formula E Team: “I’m feeling good heading into Season 10, we’ve been hard at work in the off-season bringing new features and upgrades to the car to address our main weaknesses from last year. Looking forward to Mexico, it’s a track that has suited our car historically so we’re targeting a strong performance. If we can ensure we perfect our race management and extract the most pace possible from the Nissan e-4ORCE 04, while building on our experience and positives from our last race here, I believe we can begin the season with a good result.”

Season 10 sees the continuation of Nissan Formula E Team’s relationship with Shell, established in Season 5. The partnership reaffirms both Nissan and Shell’s commitment to high-performance, sustainable mobility solutions, and will see the continued use of Shell’s E-transmission fluids. These are made with the Gen3 powertrain in mind, and help the team extract the most performance possible out on track. Coral also joins Nissan Formula E Team this season as a partner. They will help the team to offset its carbon emissions by using their transparent and efficient platform, while also using the reach of a top-level racing team to promote awareness about carbon credits and the importance of carbon neutrality.

Sacha Fenestraz

“I’m excited to start my second season with Nissan Formula E Team. The Mexican fans always create a special atmosphere, so I’m looking forward to the occasion of racing here. I’m confident that we can begin the season with a strong result, as we had an encouraging qualifying here last year, reaching the Duels, and the lessons we have learned as a team about energy management during Season 9 and the break should allow us to maximize our performance in the race.”

2024 will see the ABB FIA Formula E Championship visit a new location in Tokyo. This will serve as Nissan Formula E Team’s first home race in the series. With the track just 24 kilometers from the manufacturer’s headquarters, the event will be especially important to Nissan as the only Japanese manufacturer on the grid. Elsewhere on the calendar, Formula E returns to China for the first time since Season 5, and swaps Rome for the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli on the Adriatic coast.
