Ten years since we went green in Beijing, here's a look back at that very first race in celebration of very first race winner.
The Brazilian and ABT have a relationship that stretches all the way back to that first moment, and the German team have announced they're to extend that 10-year cooperation to enter a new era together. From next season and GEN3 Evo, di Grassi has signed up to drive once again for the outfit which will form a team with Lola Cars from 2024/25, using a powertrain developed by the iconic British brand together with Yamaha Motor Company.
Di Grassi: 'ABT is my family'
“ABT is my family. I have experienced the best moments of my career there and have full confidence in the people who work hard every day to achieve success – so I am happy that we are also tackling the new challenges together,” says di Grassi.
The Brazilian has turned the first wheel of the new era himself, in mid-June at the shakedown of the Lola Yamaha race car in the UK - the first outing for the new GEN3 Evo design with a newly-developed powertrain.
“It’s a very exciting project with people who know what it takes to be successful in Formula E, alongside two renowned brands in Lola and Yamaha with a wealth of motorsport heritage and technical prowess,” says di Grassi. “We have a few busy weeks ahead of us. Together we will do everything we can to be successful as soon as possible.”
