Following a strong Season 11 which saw Nissan Formula E Team take third in the Teams’ World Championship, its best result since the Japanese automaker took on full ownership of the operation after partnering with e.dams, the outfit is looking to continue its trajectory next season, with consistency and stability earmarked as key to pushing further.
Formula E World Champion Oliver Rowland will continue with the team for a sixth season as part of a multi-year deal and after a superb campaign, which saw him secure the Drivers’ World Championship with three pole positions and seven podiums, including four victories.
The British driver made his full-time series debut with the Japanese outfit in Season 5, which was also Nissan’s first in Formula E, and raced with the team for three years. Returning ahead of Season 10, Rowland hit the ground running with a strong campaign, before earning his maiden world title in Season 11.
“I’m thrilled to sign with Nissan Formula E Team on a multi-year deal, in what will be my sixth season with the squad," says Rowland. "What we’ve managed to achieve following my return in 2023/24 has been remarkable.
"Since I came to Formula E, the team has felt like my home, and I have a high level of trust with them as well as plenty of support. The aim for Season 12 is to replicate and improve on what we did last campaign, but we know how hard we need to work in the off-season to achieve the best results possible.”
Norman Nato, who tackles his third season with Nissan, will continue to race alongside Rowland. A race winner in the series, the French driver first joined the squad in Season 9, where he was a regular points scorer, also taking the team’s first podium under full Nissan ownership in Rome. He returned after a year away to team up with Rowland, showing consistent speed on track and claiming pole position in Miami.
“I’m delighted to continue with Nissan Formula E Team for another season as it was always the target to extend my stay here," says Nato. "It’ll be my third campaign with the team and my second consecutive one, which gives me a lot of confidence moving forward.
"I still have plenty of areas to improve on, but I’m not starting from scratch this year so I can use factors I’ve learned in Season 11 to help me in the future. I’m sure Oli will perform at a very high level again and I’m positive that together we can fight for the Teams’ World Championship.”
Tommaso Volpe, Managing Director and Team Principal, Nissan Formula E Team says: “Following a very successful season, we’ve decided to maintain our driver line-up for Season 12.
"We’re keen to consolidate our operations as we look to further improve on the work carried out both on and off-track since we took full control of our operations in the sport. I am sure that the stability and consistency that we’ve built with both Oli and Norman will help us continue our remarkable progression and fight for all three championships again next season.”
