Following its dominate display in New York, DS Virgin Racing is confident it can continue its winning ways during the final Formula E rounds of the season in Montreal, Canada on 29th and 30th July. Standout driver Sam Bird, speaking after his double victory in the Big Apple, said, "We want to repeat this form in Montreal, we've won two in a row so why not three or four?"
For the weekend, Bird will be joined by his team mate Jose Maria Lopez, who was unable to race last time out, replaced by Alex Lynn who secured a superb pole on his Formula E debut. New York saw the team amass its largest ever points tally with 56 scored, leaving it comfortably in fourth spot in the team standings and just 29 adrift of third place. It also means Bird is one of four drivers who can mathematically win the drivers' title.
Set along the banks of St. Lawrence River, the Montreal track itself consists of 14 turns and winds its way along Rue Viger E and past Maison Radio-Canada, finishing on Boulevard Rene-Levesque E. Once again, drivers have two races to contend with - consisting of 35 and 37 laps respectively - reaching speeds of up to 210km/h.
