Ma Qing Hua back with Nio and Turvey
The NIO team must recover after a disastrous 2018-19 season in Formula e. Last in the Teams championship with only seven points and an eighth best place in Chile, the Chinese-flagged structure has decided to modify its crew for the 2019-20 campaign.
Thus, the French Tom Dillmann is replaced by Ma Qing Hua. The 31-year-old Chinese knows the NIO environment well, having competed in two ePris in 2018 (17th in Paris, 13th in New York).
“The last time I drove in Formula E was with the Gen1, recalls the Team Mulsanne WTCR driver. The team has now been completely restructured, including a new power unit. (linked to the arrival of the capital of the company Shanghai Lisheng Racing. Editor’s note).
I'm sure we have a lot of work ahead, as a team it will take time to adapt to a new way of operating, particularly in Formula e. I hope we find our feet as soon as possible. »
Oliver Turvey, whose best result remains a second place in Mexico City (Mexico) in 2018, stays with NIO. The 32-year-old Briton is one of the pillars of the structure when he arrived during the final of the inaugural season in 2015.
