Andretti Global announced that its Formula E team has extended its partnership with Porsche Motorsport through Season 12 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
The continued collaboration underscores Andretti’s commitment to leveraging Porsche’s renowned expertise and technology for future success in the all-electric racing series.
Since joining forces at the start of Season 9, the Porsche 99X Electric has yielded significant achievements for the Andretti Formula E team including a Driver’s World Championship Title, three race wins, 15 podium finishes, five fastest laps, 112 laps led and a total of 365 Championship Points to date. The formidable alliance forged between the Porsche-powered teams of TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E and Andretti Formula E has also resulted in 209 points jointly scored so far toward the newly established Manufacturers’ Trophy, of which the German manufacturer currently leads heading into their home race in Berlin.
The relationship between Andretti and Porsche Motorsport precedes the announcement of the Gen3 agreement ahead of the Berlin E-Prix in Season 8. The partnership dates back to 1983, when Mario and Michael Andretti debuted at Le Mans in a Porsche 956, marking the beginning of shared victories including podium finishes at the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans.
As the Andretti Formula E team gears up for Porsche’s home race in the German capital this weekend, the team currently sits third in the Team’s Championship with 113 points. Also in third, reigning World Champion Jake Dennis is just 13 points behind the leader in the Driver’s Championship standings while teammate Norman Nato sits in 13th with 24 points.
