DS Virgin Racing aiming high in New York with first all-british driver line-up

Held in Brooklyn, #newyork City the next #formulae race has Sam Bird joined by fellow Brit and test/reserve driver Alex Lynn – deputising for the absent Jose Maria Lopez – to give the championship its first ever all-British pairing. 

Last time out in Berlin, #dsvirginracing enjoyed a successful weekend with both its drivers scoring points in both races to leave them in fourth place in the team standings – and 40 points clear of their nearest rival. 

Now the all-electric championship heads for the first time to #newyork for rounds nine and ten and it’s the penultimate city in the 2016/2017 season calendar. The purpose-built 1.213miles (1.953km), 10-turn track will see drivers reach speeds of up to 121mph (195kph) and contend with two different race distances – with 43 laps on Saturday and 49 on Sunday – designed to give teams and drivers an extra challenge to contend with.
