Newly-founded all-electric Formula E series now has an official Drivers’ Club, Formula E Holdings announced today, also revealing the first eight international drivers that have committed to the new scheme.
Sebastien Buemi, Marco Andretti, Karun Chandhok, Vitantonio Liuzzi, Adrien Tambay, Ma Qing Hua, Lucas di Grassi and Takuma Sato have joined the Formula E Drivers’ Club to show their support for the new series and willingness to race the Spark-Renault SRT_01E car in the future.
”We’re delighted to be starting the New Year, which of course is a very important one for Formula E, on such a positive note by announcing our new Drivers’ Club,” said Alejandro Agag, CEO of series promoters Formula E Holdings. “From the very beginning, we have set out to deliver great racing to fans across the globe and to do that you need high calibre drivers.”
“Now that we’ve announced all 10 teams, everyone is keen to find out who the drivers will be. Of course, we cannot confirm any drivers just yet as it will be down to the individual teams to select who fills their seats,” Agag added.
Five of the eight drivers that have signed up for the Drivers’ Club - Sebastien Buemi, Karun Chandhok, Vitantonio Liuzzi, Lucas di Grassi and Takuma Sato - have previously raced in Formula One.
