Joining the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship as a Porsche customer team, the all-new squad will be led by Formula E veteran, Phil Charles. After a successful career in Formula One, Charles joined Jaguar TCS Racing in 2017, first as Technical Director and then as Deputy Team Principal, earning multiple accolades along the way.
“There's something special about building a racing team from the ground up," said Fusion's new Team Principal Phil Charles. "You have the opportunity to bring together people you believe in, establish the right culture and create an environment where everyone can perform at their best."
“We know exactly how competitive Formula E is, and we're under no illusions about the challenge ahead. But we've assembled a fantastic group of people, we have a strong technical partner in Porsche, and everyone is working incredibly hard to get us ready. We're not here simply to make up the numbers. We want to build a team that can compete at the front, and that's what we're working towards.”
For investment group Fusion, today's announcement follows the recent launch of junior single-seater operation 'LN4 Fusion' which will see the brand enter the FIA Formula 2 Championship next year, in partnership with 2025 Formula One World Champion, Lando Norris.
NORRIS: "The level of drivers you have here is top - it's as good as you get."
“Building the right team has been our priority from day one," says Dan Richards, CEO of Fusion Racing. "In Phil Charles and Chris Bluett, we have two highly experienced people who understand what it takes to compete at this level, and we've been fortunate to attract some exceptional talent to join them.
“I'm incredibly proud of the team we're putting together. There's a huge amount of work ahead, but I couldn't have more confidence in the people leading that effort.”
Fusion joins the Formula E paddock at the start of an exciting new chapter for the world's leading all-electric championship. Capable of reaching speeds in excess of 335kph, 0-100kph in approximately 1.8 seconds, and 0-200kph in just 4.4 seconds - 1.5 seconds faster than its predecessor - GEN4 will deliver 50% more power in race mode than the current GEN3 Evo race car. The GEN4 car will be an average of 10 seconds faster per lap than the GEN3 car in qualifying mode. In ATTACK MODE, GEN4 produces up to 600kW of power, a 71% increase in base output over GEN3 Evo, delivering performance that pushes the limits of electric racing. GEN4 is the only single-seater race car with permanent all-wheel drive.
The team will announce their full driver line-up in due course.
