Porsche 99X Electric
The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship heads into the second half of the season with the most prestigious race of the year. On 6 May, the Monaco E-Prix puts the innovative electric racing series in the spotlight of the motor racing world. The legendary Grand Prix circuit in the Principality on the Côte d’Azur throws very special challenges at the teams and drivers.
Four Porsche 99X Electric go hunting for world championship points. Two of the Weissach-developed electric vehicles are fielded by the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team with the current championship leader Pascal Wehrlein and António Félix da Costa (POR). Porsche’s customer team Avalanche Andretti also tackles the prestigious race with two Porsche 99X Electric driven by Jake Dennis (GBR) and André Lotterer (GER). Thanks to victories at both night races in Diriyah as well as in Mexico City and Cape Town, the Porsche 99X Electric is the most successful Formula E car this season.
The race in the world’s most expensive square mile throws very special challenges at the 22 drivers. The spectacular labyrinth of corners, lined with concrete blocks and high fences, allows no margin for error. The roads will be closed for just one day. As soon as the colourful flower pots, parking metres and traffic signs have been removed early Saturday morning, one of the world’s most fascinating racetracks will emerge between the luxury high-rise buildings and upmarket boutiques. There are virtually no run-off zones and to turn a perfect lap in the world’s fastest city traffic, drivers must use every inch of the track. Teams and drivers get only two short free practices to finalise the setup of the new Gen3 cars at the first outing in Monaco. In the qualifying session, the hunt for pole position then begins through legendary corners like Sainte Dévote, Casino and Mirabeau as well as the spectacular tunnel passage at the harbour.
