  • Head of #audimotorsport Dieter Gass: “Confirms our engineering achievements”
  • Audi #etronfe05 with newly developed powertrain
  • New Formula E season starts in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) in mid-December

Neuburg a. d. Donau, September 21, 2018 – When the ABB FIA Formula E Championship starts its new season in Riyadh on December 15, there will be four drivers on the grid with Audi technology: alongside its own factory team, Audi Sport will also be equipping the British race team #virginracing with its newly developed Audi #etronfe05, including the powertrain.

“We are glad that in the new Formula E season together with #virginracing four Audi #etronfe05 cars will fight for points and trophies,” says Head of #audimotorsport Dieter Gass. “The team has been one of the key players in Formula E ever since the series was founded – both in terms of its racing performances and all off-track activities. This makes Virgin Racing’s choice of using our powertrain a particular pleasure. This confidence also confirms the excellent work that our engineers are doing together with their colleagues from our development partner Schaeffler.” 

The Audi #etronfe05 is an evolution of a successful model. Its predecessor was the most efficient car in many races during the fourth season. It peaked mid-July in New York City when the factory team Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler won the teams’ championship.
