Citroën Racing have confirmed that Kiwi driver Nick Cassidy and Frenchman Jean-Éric Vergne and will once again form the team’s driver line-up for Season 13 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
As Season 12 enters its final stretch, Citroën Racing is already looking ahead to the future. A few months after confirming its commitment to the GEN4 era of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, the team continues the development of its future race car while confirming its driver line-up for Season 13.
“I’m very happy to continue with Citroën Racing Formula E Team for Season 13,” commented Cassidy. “We’ve built a strong relationship within the team, and I’m looking forward to continuing the development of the GEN4.”
Drawing on their extensive Formula E experience and complementary strengths, both drivers will continue working closely with the technical team throughout the final stages of the GEN4 development program ahead of its competitive debut at the opening round of next season on the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.
“It’s an exciting time for Formula E, with a new generation of car that represents a completely new challenge. I can’t wait to keep working with the whole team and unlock the full potential of the GEN4 once it hits the track.”
During the latest test session in Guadix, the GEN4 completed more than 500 kilometers, generating a significant amount of valuable data that will support the next phases of development ahead of the official pre-season testing program.
Since the first FIA-supervised track tests last November, the GEN4 program has continued to progress through a series of development sessions held across several European circuits. From Calafat to Andalusia, via Navarra and most recently Guadix, each test has enabled the team to continue developing the car under a variety of conditions in preparation for its championship debut next December.
