In preparation Scott has spent time in the simulator familiarising himself with the track and the ground-breaking technology of the Formula E race car and will also receive guidance into the particularities of electric racing from Lola Yamaha ABT driver, Zane Maloney.
Scott Mansell said: “I’m very excited to be part of the Formula E Evo Sessions with Lola Yamaha ABT. Lola is a brand that has a special place in my heart, having driven fantastic cars such as the T70 and T210 in the past. The Lola T100 currently competing in the GEN3 Evo era of Formula E is the equivalent high-tech car of this period and I’m really looking forward to continuing to work with the team to extract the most performance from the car as I can in Miami.
“I’m also lucky enough to have driven the GEN3 Beta car at last year’s Diriyah E-Prix and am thrilled to have the opportunity to spend more time experiencing the innovative technology used in Formula E.”
“We are very excited to welcome Scott to the Lola Yamaha ABT team," adds Mark Preston, Motorsport Director, Lola Cars. "The combination of his experience, passion and technical interest fits perfectly with our rich heritage and commitment to driving innovation through motorsport. We look forward to seeing what he can do behind the wheel of the Lola T001 when he hits the track in Miami.”
What is Formula E Evo Sessions?
Over the next six weeks - ahead of the track event at the Miami International Autodrome (Hard Rock Stadium) on 5-6 March 2025 - a carefully curated collective of 11 of the world’s most-followed and popular personalities, comprising actors, athletes and content creators with a combined reach of over 300 million, will be paired and embedded within Formula E’s elite race teams and drivers as part of their preparations.
All participants will receive an intense training programme that includes simulator sessions, physical conditioning, driver coaching, hardware customisation and engineering briefings. They will experience first-hand just how tough and complicated it is to prepare, train and drive like a world-class racing driver.
In the two-day event they will have prepared for, they will experience the breathtaking performance of the all-new GEN3 Evo race car on the track, capable of 0-60mph/100 kph in just 1.82s - 30% faster than a current F1 car - as well as take part in a number of familiarisation laps to accustom themselves to the altered track layout.
The entire journey from rookie-to-racer will be captured for social-first content, through the creators’ lens, and shared across their and Formula E's social media channels. The whole experience will offer fans a rare and exclusive behind-the-scenes, access-all-areas viewpoint into the world of Formula E, not from the perspective of the grandstands, but directly behind the wheel. It will showcase what it truly takes to compete at the pinnacle of electric racing, with a feature-length documentary coming later in 2025.
