Fe – René Rast will make his debut in Berlin

René Rast will make his debut in Formula e by competing in the Berlin ePrix on May 21. The official Audi driver will replace within the Aguri Team Antonio Félix da Costa retained by his obligations in DTM and will evolve with No. 55 alongside Ma Qing Hua.

“It will be something very special to drive a Formula e car on the streets of Berlin. I tested the simulator these last few days to get the first sensations with the car. Even though these cars have special requirements, I think I can quickly perform well and use my experience in energy management to deliver a nice result for the team.", comments the three-time champion of the Porsche Supercup.

“There have been a lot of rumors about who would replace Antonio and we have been in contact with several drivers”, adds Mark Preston, Team Principal of Team Aguri. “While we were close to signing with several famous names, the skills in energy management, professional approach and pace offered by René made the choice obvious. »
