Nissan Formula E Team is set for Round 4 of the 2023/24 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship as the series travels to South America, for the second running of the São Paulo E-Prix.
The team will be looking to build on a positive showing last time out in Diriyah, where Oliver Rowland took pole position and third place in Round 3, with Sacha Fenestraz securing strong points in sixth. Following a seven-week break, the two drivers have had a chance to reflect on the opening exchanges of Season 10, and have been working with the team in preparation for the trip to São Paulo.
A city obsessed by motorsport, this weekend’s race will take place in the Santana district, with the main straight on the Anhembi Sambadrome, the venue of the famous Carnival of São Paulo. The 2.93-kilometer track features 11 corners, with three long straights leading into heavy braking zones at Turns 1, 4 and 7, offering drivers ample overtaking opportunities.
Nissan enjoys a strong presence in Brazil, having opened a manufacturing site at the Resende Industrial Complex in the state of Rio de Janeiro in 2014. Nissan has recently pledged a further investment of R$ 2.8 billion (US$ 560 million) to provide new equipment to allow the production of two new SUVs and the assembly of an advanced turbo engine at the complex. The 2023-2025 investment plan forms part of the strategy to reach the goals set out in Nissan’s Ambition 2030 vision.
Track action begins on Friday at 16:25 BRT (UTC -3), with qualifying at 09:40 on Saturday ahead of the race at 14:00.
