The 2024/25 season will mark the third season in Formula E for the team, after entering for the first time ahead of the 2022/23 season. In its second year, NEOM McLaren finished P7 in the Teams’ standings with 101 points, with highlights including a victory in São Paulo and podium in Shanghai.
Taylor Barnard and Sam Bird will get behind the wheel of the all-new GEN3 Evo car for the 2024/25 season of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, which will make its competitive debut at the São Paulo E-Prix on 7 December 2024.
Ian James, Managing Director, NEOM McLaren Electric Racing and Team Principal, NEOM McLaren Formula E Team, said: “Our livery for the upcoming season in Formula E is a demonstration of the evolution of the NEOM McLaren Formula E Team throughout the last two seasons.
“In preparation for the upcoming season, the team has been working hard to build on the knowledge we have gained as NEOM McLaren so far in Formula E. I can’t wait to see the team in action with this new livery.”
Sam Bird said: “I’m looking forward to my second season with the NEOM McLaren Formula E Team. This team has become like family to me, and I believe that we can achieve even better things together in the upcoming season. We’ve done some good work in our first season together; now it’s time to build on that and create even better memories in my second year with the team.”
Taylor Barnard said: “I am delighted to be racing for the NEOM McLaren Formula E Team in Season 11. In Season 10, I was the team’s Reserve and Development Driver and during that time I learnt a lot, putting my knowledge into practice in Monaco and Berlin.
“I am excited to race alongside Sam this season, and I am sure I will learn a lot from him. He is one of the most experienced drivers on the grid, and I hope that together we can score plenty of points and collect some trophies for the team. I can’t wait to get started.”
Key technical enhancements for the new GEN3 Evo race car:
The quickest accelerating FIA single-seater race car: Capable of 0-60mph in 1.82 seconds (0-100kph in 1.86s), 30% faster than a current F1 car.
Faster, stronger, more agile: Performance upgrades providing an estimated 2% performance gain from GEN3, equating to a c.2 secs faster qualifying lap on the Monaco circuit, offering world-class racing on any track.
Leaner and meaner: An aggressive new body kit designed to be stronger, more robust and more aerodynamic, delivering closer wheel-to-wheel racing.
All-wheel drive (AWD): A first for a Formula E car, available during qualifying duels, race starts, and ATTACK MODE.
