As the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship gears up for its fourth round in São Paulo, the Nissan Formula E Team is fuelled by fresh ambitions and a surge of positive energy following their impressive results in Diriyah.

Recent Triumphs and New Aspirations

With their sights set high, the team aims to mirror, if not eclipse, the stellar performance seen in the Saudi Arabian leg of the championship. Oliver Rowland’s electrifying victory in securing pole position and a third-place finish, paired with Sacha Fenestraz’s strong sixth-place capture, sets a high bar for their Brazilian endeavors.

Post-Diriyah, the pair, alongside their team, have poured over the insights from the initial races. With the subsequent seven-week hiatus drawing to a close, they remain laser-focused on prepping for the challenges the São Paulo E-Prix will present.

São Paulo: A Motor Racing Heartland

The upcoming São Paulo E-Prix promises an exhilarating spectacle located in the suburb of Santana, known for the pulsating rhythm of its Carnival. Drivers will tackle a 2.93-kilometer circuit, weaving through 11 corners and sprinting down lengthy straights primed for overtaking maneuvers—a battle of speed and strategy awaits.

Nissan’s commitment to Brazil extends beyond the racetrack. With a firm production footprint dating back to 2014 and a fresh allocation of some US$ 560 million earmarked for further development of its manufacturing capabilities, Nissan is accelerating towards its Ambition 2030 vision.

Strategy and Stamina

Two days of intense Formula E action will kick off on Friday, building up to Saturday’s climax with the qualifying rounds and the highly anticipated race event.

Volpe’s Vision of Persistent Progress

Tommaso Volpe, Managing Director and Team Principal at Nissan Formula E Team, emphasizes the importance of momentum and the continuous effort to refine the team’s performance ahead. As the racetrack in São Paulo authentically reflects the city’s daring nature—undulating and likely sweltering—the team braces for a stern test of their technical acumen and endurance.

Fenestraz’s Home Spirit and Turn Tactics

Driver Sacha Fenestraz, an Argentine native, looks upon the São Paulo race as a homecoming of sorts. The anticipation for on-track action is palpable as Fenestraz expects a complex game of energy management combined with the need for strategic overtakes, especially at Turns 1 and 4, which could make or break the race.

Rowland Ready to Leverage Diriyah Momentum

For Oliver Rowland, Diriyah’s success marks a template for repeated top-tier performances. São Paulo’s singular race event means the pressure is on from the get-go, and the team must aim for instant excellence. As the slipstream becomes a sophisticated dance of energy conservation and pace, Rowland understands the necessity of a flawless strategic execution.

In anticipation of an electrifying E-Prix, the Nissan Formula E Team harnesses the energy of its recent achievements, acutely aware of the myriad challenges that the streets of São Paulo will present.
