The Formula E is back for its sixth season, presenting a whole a new battle between German carmakers as Mercedes and Porsche join Audi and BMW in the all-electric racing series.

Porsche has now unveiled the Porsche 99X Electric racing car with which the manufacturer will be starting at the Formula E for the first time in the 2019/20 season. Drivers Neel Jani and André Lotterer will sit in the Porsche cockpit for the sixth season.

Sebastien Buemi (Nissan) and Robin Frijns (Envision Virgin Racing) won the double header in New York, while Jean-Eric Vergne (DS Techeetah) claimed a historic back-to-back FIA Formula E championship.

The new Formula E champion Jean-Eric Vergne and his team colleague Andre Lotterer received an unusual fine at the season finale in New York. Both drivers were fined €5,000 for wearing what FIA considers “noncompliant underwear” during the qualifiers.

Techeetah has confirmed their partnership with DS Automobiles for the coming Formula E racing season. The team will be introduced alongside the drivers on the 1st of October. Techeetah has worked as Renault’s tech partner for two years prior.

Formula E fans in Santiago de Chile saw French driver Jean-Eric Vergne win the fourth ePrix of the season on Saturday. German team mate Andre Lotterer came in second. And the overall score has been mixed up.
