ROME, Italy – After scoring its first podium in China, the Nissan e.dams team will kick off the first of five Formula E races in Europe this weekend.
The Rome E-Prix on April 13 will be followed by events in Paris; Monte Carlo, Monaco; Berlin; and Bern, Switzerland. The championship will conclude in New York in July.
Oliver Rowland scored Nissan’s second Formula E pole and first podium with a second place in the last race, held in Sanya, China. He and teammate Sebastien Buemi will begin the European leg of the all-electric street racing championship this Saturday at the 2.84-kilometer, 21-turn Circuito Cittadino dell’EUR – one of the longest circuits on the Formula E calendar.
Nissan is the only brand to have scored two pole positions so far in the highly competitive season five of Formula E. The season has so far featured six different pole sitters, and six different race winners, in six races.
Nissan is using Formula E to demonstrate the power and performance of its electric vehicle technology – a key part of the company’s Nissan Intelligent Mobility vision, embodied by the 100% electric Nissan LEAF. Customers globally have bought more than 400,000 Nissan LEAF vehicles since the model first went on sale in 2010, making it the world’s best-selling electric car of all time.
