While the Gen3 electric single-seaters have reached the halfway point of their career, the Gen3 ‘EVO’ cars took to the track this week. More powerful, more technological and equipped with new tyres, they are machines of a new kind on which the teams will use to put on a show and try to win.
Given the dramatic weather conditions that affected the Valencia region just a few days ago, the test was held at the Jarama circuit in Madrid. "It's a very pretty place; it reminds me of Mugello," says Eugenio Franzetti, Director of DS Performance, the DS Automobiles competition department which designs DS Penske's electric single-seaters. "But what counts is its ability to host Formula E cars. Valencia and Jarama are permanent circuits, less typical of FE, but that doesn't stop us from working and the championship organisers have done an incredible job in reorganising testing in such a short space of time.
