Former FIA Formula 2 champion Theo Pourchaire is back in the single-seater saddle, with the Opel GSE Formula E Team confirming him for the all-electric series’ groundbreaking GEN4 era that will kick off at the end of this year. Pourchaire will debut alongside Formula E’s new GEN4 car, a machine expected to exceed 335kph, sprint from 0-100kph in around 1.8 seconds and feature permanent all-wheel drive — a first for a single-seater racing series. “It’s the next step in my career and the biggest single-seater opportunity I’ve had so far. Pourchaire has already shown encouraging speed in Formula E rookie outings, notably finishing second in the Miami Rookie Free Practice session, just 0.093s off the fastest time. For Pourchaire, it begins with something he has not had for a while: a clear road forward.
