Nissan Formula E Team unveils updated livery
By CARSIFU | 18 October 2024PARIS: Nissan Formula E Team is excited to unveil its updated livery for the 2024/25 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, with the squad prepared for the first campaign under the new GEN3 Evo regulations.
For the upcoming season, Nissan Formula E Team has opted to continue with its popular cherry blossom livery, which has been a fan-favorite ever since it debuted at the start of Season 9.
The pattern is meaningful for the outfit, both as a hint to its Japanese DNA and new beginnings, as well as now being part of Nissan’s identity in Formula E.
The Japanese team will be looking to build on a strong Season 10, which saw it finish fourth in the Teams’ and Drivers’ Championship, as well as third in the newly-established Manufacturers’ Championship.
To help the aim of moving further up the grid, Nissan Formula E Team has opted to refresh its driver line-up, with the experienced Norman Nato returning after a season away.
Together with Oliver Rowland, who took two victories and five further podiums in an excellent Season 10, the squad now boasts two Formula E race winners.
Both drivers possess the knowledge of how to get the most out of their machinery and have a proven track record of helping teams develop their cars.
Nato will continue to sport the #17 on his Nissan e-4ORCE 05, while Rowland switches to Nissan’s traditional #23.
The new factory is also fully operational ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.
The fully Nissan Formula E Team dedicated facility stretches over 2,600 square meters and features a workshop area, simulator, engineering and management offices, as well as display, meeting and multipurpose areas.
Located south of Paris, the headquarters is based close to other Nissan sites and its Alliance partners, ensuring synergies and access to talent, equipment and facilities available within Nissan and the group.
Rowland and Nato will be on track for the first time in an official capacity as team mates at pre-season testing on 4-7 November in Valencia, while Season 11 kicks off on December 7 at the São Paulo E-Prix.
Tommaso Volpe, managing director and team principal, Nissan Formula E Team: “We’re excited for the new season and have been working hard, getting to grips with the GEN3 Evo car. Everything has been running smoothly so far and we’re looking forward to getting out on track in Valencia. Our new workshop is fully operational now, which is making a huge difference - we’ve been able to take full advantage of the facilities, allowing us to maximize the potential of the team. In terms of drivers, Norman has settled in very quickly, he knew most of the crew already so that made things easier than normal. Together with Oli, we’re confident that we have a strong line-up ready to fight for wins and podiums throughout the upcoming campaign. On top of that, we’ve got great companies supporting us, with Electromin extending and increasing its collaboration with the team to become our main partner, alongside existing relationships with Coral and Coral Eyewear, who we are delighted to be working with. We’re fully focused on improving at every step and continuing where we left off a few months ago, as we aim to challenge at the top in Season 11.”
