This Friday, during the Formula E race weekend in Rome, there will be a special training session, which will only work for beginners, although some of the participants in this category can be classified very conditionally. For example, Daniil Kvyat, an experienced professional who has competed and competes in a wide variety of championships from Formula 1 to WEC and NASCAR.
All teams invited to this training session those racers with whom they have plans for the future in one way or another, so that, in the conditions of a real city circuit, they showed what they are capable of driving the new generation of Gen3 cars. driving, to which Formula 1 only switched this season. In particular, Kvyat will drive the car of Chinese team NIO333 Racing.
“We worked well with NIO during the tests in Berlin, and now we will continue this in the stage of the World Championship in Rome,” said Daniil.
Most newcomers have already had their first experience driving Gen3 electric race cars during the April test in Berlin, but for 27-year-old Frenchman Yann Erlacher, who competes in the TCR World Tour championship, this will be a debut in any sense. He will work with Detective Penske.
Alberto Longo, F1 co-founder and CEO of the championship: “We are delighted to give the world’s best new talent the opportunity to get behind the wheel of the GEN3. It will be interesting to see how they perform as a racer driving electric race cars.
The list of their past achievements means they fully deserve this opportunity and we wish them every success!”
