Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
London, England (January 11, 2021) - Today #Mclaren #racing and #formulae announced they have signed an agreement granting #Mclaren #racing an option to enter the ABB FIA #formulae World Championship when Formula E’s Gen3 kicks off in Season 9. Part of #Mclaren Racing’s ongoing evaluation of potential new motorsport platforms, the agreement provides #Mclaren the option to enter the Championship as one of a maximum 12 entries for the 2022/23 season.
McLaren #racing has formalised its interest in joining Formula E’s team and manufacturer line-up from the new Gen3 era. Gen3 will take to the track from the 2022/23 season, bringing performance and efficiency advances including more powerful, lighter cars and faster charging as well as a set of technical and financial controls aimed at reinforcing the business case for Formula E’s ecosystem of teams and manufacturers.
McLaren Racing’s interest in #formulae is a validation of the series as the pinnacle of electric #racing, both as a proving ground for the top #racing teams in the world and as a test bed for the next generation of electric vehicles. #Mclaren #racing is one of the most successful operations in motorsport, enjoying a rich history of success in Formula 1 as well as IndyCar and Le Mans. #Mclaren Applied is Formula E’s exclusive Gen2 battery supplier under a four-season contract which concludes at the end of the 2021/22 season, after which #Mclaren #racing will evaluate the potential to deepen its involvement as a competitor in the electric championship.
FOUNDER & CHAIRMAN OF #formulae - ALEJANDRO AGAG
"McLaren #racing securing an option to join the #formulae grid from Gen3 is testament to the ongoing impact of our sport. With some of the most famous names in motorsport already competing in #formulae, we are thrilled that #Mclaren #racing has decided to examine a potential entry to #formulae."
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF #Mclaren #racing - ZAK BROWN
"We’ve been closely observing #formulae for some time and monitoring the series’ progress and future direction. The opportunity to take an option on an entry and the completion of the #Mclaren Applied supplier contract with the FIA at the end of Gen2, gives us the necessary time to decide if #formulae is right for #Mclaren as a future competition platform."
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF #formulae - JAMIE REIGLE
"We are delighted that #Mclaren #racing, one of the most iconic names in motorsport, has secured an option to join #formulae. #Mclaren has contributed immensely to Formula E’s success as suppliers of our Gen2 battery systems. We now look forward to working with #Mclaren #racing to demonstrate the sporting and commercial potential of #formulae and devise ways to elevate the series to a new level, as part of their evaluation."
