DS Techeetah drivers Andre Lotterer and reigning Formula E Champion Jean-Eric Vergne return to field the DS E-Tense FE19 Gen2 car for the season ahead. They will start the season by tackling the new 2.5km street circuit of Ad Diriyah where they will be challenged with the new 45-minute plus one lap race format.
Formula E's unique fan engagement - FanBoost, is set to return with updated regulations and will now see the top five drivers gain the boost voted for by the fans, which is another two drivers gaining the energy boost on track compared the previous seasons. Fans will now also be able to vote 15 minutes into the race, further adding to the thrill of being directly involved in the championship.
The DS E-Tense FE19 is built entirely in-house by DS Automobiles in the team's new factory in Versailles, just outside Paris. DS Automobiles has also developed its own brake-by-wire system and is one of the few manufacturers in the paddock to have done so to optimise competitive advantage.
