Nissan Formula E Team aims to reinforce lead in Shanghai

The Nissan Formula E Team says it’s ready for the Shanghai International Circuit for Rounds 10 and 11 of the 2024/25 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship on May 31 and June 1.

Oliver Rowland intends extending his lead in the Drivers’ Standings in Shanghai, where he finished fourth during last year’s opener.

In the #17 Nissan e-4ORCE 05, Norman Nato will be aiming to replicate his success from the maiden visit to Shanghai, which saw him take a podium during the second event.

Nissan leads all three championships – regaining top spot in the Teams’ Standings in Tokyo in front of its home fans.

“The only question marks heading to Shanghai are the newly resurfaced track and potentially the weather, but we’ve adapted to factors like this well in previous rounds,” says Nissan Formula E Team managing director ad team principal Tommaso Volpe.

“A double-header means we’ll see Pit Boost again and I’ve loved the strategic element of these races, finishing on the podium in all three rounds so far,” says Rowland.

Kiwi drivers for Jaguar TCS Racing Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy are also ready for Shanghai after the duo finished first and third respectively last time.

“I have happy memories of last year’s win in China, so it’ll be great to return and hopefully we can deliver another strong result,” says Evans.

Evans and Cassidy finished second and third respectively in the 2024 Drivers’ World Championship.

Jaguar TCS Racing has confirmed a long‑term commitment to the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship by signing to participate in the GEN4 era, set to start in 2026 and running through seasons 13‑16.

Additional new venues include Miami, with the season finale again set to play out across a double‑header race weekend in London on July 26 and 27, 2025.

Formula E allows the team to test and develop new electric vehicle technologies in a high‑performance environment.
