This is the first time Brazil has hosted the Formula E season opener, and the race saw two-time Formula E world champion Jean-Éric Vergne, joined by Maximilian Günther, driving the new GEN3 Evo. The GEN3 Evo is faster, stronger, and more agile than its predecessors, and features a new, aggressive body kit designed to be stronger, more robust, and aerodynamic. It also allows for all-wheel drive, a first for a Formula E car.
"Mouser is delighted to continue supporting the DS PENSKE Formula E team," said Todd McAtee, senior vice president of Business Development at Mouser Electronics. "We're also eager to see what the new car is capable of. With a 0-100 km/h acceleration time 30 percent faster than a current Formula 1 car, this is sure to be an exciting season.".
"TTI is delighted to partner with Mouser again to support DS PENSKE and promote this dynamic sport, as well as its commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility," said Mike Morton, CEO of TTI. "We look forward to a year full of victories.".
"The new car promises to continue the evolution of Formula E and serves as a powerful showcase for the electric future of motorsport," said Fred Bell, Vice President of Global Distribution at Molex. "Mouser and Molex are proud to have supported Formula E from the beginning, and we wish the DS PENSKE team a very successful season.".
"It's great to be able to collaborate with Mouser and TTI in the DS PENSKE Formula E team for another season," said Alex Schenkel, senior vice president of global sales at KYOCERA AVX.
Formula E will complete a 16-race season across ten iconic venues, continuing its pioneering role in all-electric racing. The globetrotting calendar includes a return to Miami, Florida, two-day races in Tokyo and Monaco, and Formula E's first-ever trip to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A two-day finale in London, England, completes Formula E's biggest race calendar to date.
Formula E cars run exclusively on electricity and represent a vision for the future of motorsport, providing a framework for research and development in the field of zero-emission vehicles. Racing is based on speed and endurance, and these partnerships are an innovative way for Mouser to communicate its performance-driven business model and promote the latest technologies from its manufacturing partners.
