The Brazilian and the German team have announced they're to extend their 10-year cooperation to enter a new era together and from next season as Lucas di Grassi signs up to drive once again for ABT, which will form a team with Lola Cars from 2024/25, using a powertrain developed by the iconic British brand together with Yamaha Motor Company.
Di Grassi: 'ABT is my family'
“ABT is my family. I have experienced the best moments of my career there and have full confidence in the people who work hard every day to achieve success – so I am happy that we are also tackling the new challenges together,” says di Grassi.
The Brazilian has turned the first wheel of the new era himself, in mid-June at the shakedown of the Lola Yamaha race car in the UK - the first outing for the new GEN3 Evo design with a newly-developed powertrain.
“It’s a very exciting project with people who know what it takes to be successful in Formula E, alongside two renowned brands in Lola and Yamaha with a wealth of motorsport heritage and technical prowess,” says di Grassi. “We have a few busy weeks ahead of us. Together we will do everything we can to be successful as soon as possible.”
