Big companies and several racing icons seem to be placing overwhelmingly large wagers on the Formula E Season Finale. Nissan e.dams is all set to embark to Berlin to win the ABB FIA World Championship season. It had delivered amazingly well at the Tempelhof Airport Circuit where they clinched the 2nd position during the 2019/20 season.
Winning a great deal of acclamation for himself at the 2019/20 season, one of Nissan’s Formula E driver Sebastian Buemi earned the respect of the crowd registering his first win from the 12 races in the season six finale. He is a formidable contender and expects to maintain the alacrity and rapidity at the final double-header event this year. It will be replete with frisson to witness how the participants tackle driving in both the directions at the circuit which makes it quite a Sisyphean task.
Sebastian Buemi comments: “London was a challenging event for us, but we come to Berlin knowing that our car is fast in qualifying and the race. It is important that we maximize this speed over every lap as we search for points in the last two races of the season. We owe it to our amazing fans to put on a good show at the Berlin finale.”
Racing in the highly coveted Formula E event will provide Nissan with insights about electric mobility and bring them one step closer to providing all-electric vehicles by 2030. They will be in a better position to do so transferring their knowledge and specialisation in electric vehicle segment from race cars to the normal everyday ones. This is in the direction towards achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
Nissan global Motorsports director, Tommaso Volpe asserts: “The results didn’t go our way at the previous rounds in London, but Seb and Oli showed good pace in both qualifying and the races,” said Tommaso Volpe, Nissan global motorsports director. “With our successes last time out in Berlin, and our strong overall pace in London, we will be racing harder than ever at the Tempelhof track to try and finish season seven on a high.”
It’s heartening to see the Japanese brand take colossal steps towards a sustainable future for which it is participating in the i-rEzEPT project in Germany heralded by the German Federal Ministry of Transport. Through this initiative, it aims to achieve its objective of reducing the reliance on public power grid. It will be providing 13 lucky dwellers that have a photovoltaic system with a Nissan Leaf and understand household’s supply of self-generated solar power. This will also reduce the operating costs of the EV according to the brand.
Speaking of the races, the second driver Oliver Rowland says that, “I started from the front row at the previous race in London, and I took my first Formula E win in Berlin. I’m hoping that this combination of London speed and success last time in Berlin will power us into the points this weekend. We really want to finish the season on a high and we’ll be racing harder than ever.”
“It’s the last two races of the season in Berlin and the team is fired up to put on a good performance for the fans,” said Olivier Driot, co-team principal of Nissan e.dams. “Seb, Oli and our new Nissan Formula E powertrain have the speed, we just need to put together a clean and consistent race weekend and the points will come.”
