Dragon Penske Autosport announced that Sérgio Sette Câmara will drive the #7 Penske EV-5 in Season 7 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
Ahead of the seventh Formula E season, the Los Angeles based Team has rebranded itself “Dragon Penske Autosport”.
This season will be Sérgio’s first full season in Formula E after making his debut in the all-electric series in Berlin. It will Sérgio’s first time competing in an FIA World Championship.
The extension of Sette Câmara’s alliance with the team is part of a long-term strategy led by Jay Penske to bring his squad back to the front of the most competitive grid in international motorsport.
On his debut in the action-packed six-races in Berlin, Sette Câmara said:
I learned a lot about optimizing the Formula E car and working within the race format, as it is very different from the other machinery in which I have raced. I spent a lot of time working with the engineering team learning how to deploy our energy in the most efficient way to achieve the best result weekend. There was a steep curve for me, and I am excited to apply my learnings, and the work we have done in the off-season to my first full season with the Team.
Ahead of his first full season in Formula E, the young Brazilian said:
my target is to bring the best result possible after each race, to have a steep learning curve in the series, & to enjoy my time with the Dragon Penske Autosport crew! It is my goal to grow with the Team and continue with the positive momentum we started together in Berlin, to consistently compete for points this season.
Jay Penske, Owner and Team Principal of Dragon Penske Autosport added:
Sérgio gave everyone a preview of what is to come in his first six races with the Team in Berlin. I have been pleased with Sérgio’s pace and the rate at which he adapted to the rigors of electric racing. With the Penske EV-5 package and advancements we are making across the board, I expect him to convert the potential he showed in Berlin into consistent points finishes in his first full season with Dragon Penske Autosport.
