Afterparties, planes & Paris: at home with a champion

Off The Grid: Jean-Eric Vergne

Afterparties, planes & Paris: at home with a champion

In this access-all-areas documentary, we follow 2017-18 ABB FIA Formula E Champion Jean-Eric Vergne for 72 hours following his epic title victory in New York City. From afterparties and racing yachts to joining the Frenchman in the sanctity of his home in Paris - we accompany our newly crowned champion on his journey from New York City to Gen2 car testing in Calafat, gaining an exclusive insight into his life behind the scenes.

With the championship title in hand, it would be natural to assume our protagonist would be partying with the rest of the Formula E paddock and enjoying the nightlife of one of the world’s greatest cities. The reality, however, is somewhat different. Just three days after his victory, JEV is back in a Gen2 Formula E car preparing for Season 5. Sure, there’s time for an afterparty, a yacht trip and a trip home to Paris; but the endless pursuit for competitiveness and winning comes at a cost, as we follow his relentless schedule in this brand new documentary.

‘Off The Grid’ is an 8-part documentary series following the lives of Formula E drivers throughout the off-season, away from the track. The series aims to give fans a closer look at what the stars of the sport get up to in their time away from the Championship, as well as showcasing our drivers’ personalities and competitive spirit. Episodes will be available across Facebook Watch and YouTube, Subscribe here.
