Strong performance for DS Techeetah in first outing as a new team

Testing started out with two days of sunshine and new lap records from the DS E-Tense FE19 cars, which ran nearly five seconds quicker than the previous generation racers. The final day offered ABB FIA Formula E's first wet testing since its inception.

With 1,172km driven by the DS Techeetah drivers Jean-Eric Vergne and Andre Lotterer, the team left Valencia with a positive feeling for the first race of Season Five, the Ad Diriyah E-Prix on 15 December 2018.

"It's been a good week for the team. We've taken a step further in our team building, we've had good reliability and performance with the car and the drivers are happy with the progress. It's been particularly helpful to have both cars on track at the same time as our drivers and engineers have been able to compare times and situations simultaneously," said DS Techeetah Team Principal Mark Preston.
