The Audi e-tron FE06 meets its competitors

Formula E's summer break is finally over and Daniel Abt, together with Lucas di Grassi, are back testing at Valencia with the other teams and drivers for the first and only time before the season begins.

During the pre-season test, the pairing also showed their #11 (di Grassi) and #66 (Abt) Audi e-tron FE06 race cars sporting their final liveries for the first time. As an additional distinguishing feature, the German also received neon-orange rear-view mirrors.

With 12 teams, 24 drivers and a total of 10 manufacturers - including the four German premium brands Audi, BMW, Porsche and Mercedes - fans can expect to see what will arguably be the most thrilling season of all time.

As a founding member of Formula E, Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler takes on its old and new competitors with a proven team. The two are the only pairing to have jointly contested all of the Formula E races so far in the same team and are jointly entering the sixth season.

Following the pre-season test at Valencia and the conclusion of the preparations, the two Audi e-tron FE06 cars and all of the equipment will be made ready for shipping. The real relative strengths of the teams will be demonstrated at the season opener in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, where on 22 and 23 November the first two races will be held, before Formula E embarks on its world tour with 12 more races being held on five continents until the end of July 2020.
