DS Automobiles has always attracted the best drivers in Formula E, a specific discipline where experience counts. Over the years, the French manufacturer has entrusted its single-seaters to three-time WTCC world champion Jose Maria Lopez, three-time winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans Andre Lotterer, 2021-22 Formula E world champion Stoffel Vandoorne and the drivers who brought it two constructors' titles and two drivers' titles: Antonio Felix Da Costa and Jean-Eric Vergne.
This also means that to have the honour of driving for DS, you already need a certain pedigree and potential. For once, Taylor Barnard is relatively new to the scene. Nevertheless, the young Briton showed last season that he is a force to be reckoned with, which did not escape the attention of the strategists at DS Automobiles and its partner Penske Autosport.
