Envision Virgin Racing Team Director Sylvain Filippi believes that consistency will be a "make or break" factor in Formula E’s sixth season.
In Season 5 of the fully-electric championship, Envision Virgin stormed to third in the Teams’ Championship, beating rival team Nissan e.dams by only one point.
Maintaining the same driver lineup in Sam Bird and Robin Frijns, the British Virgin team faces its biggest challenge to date in the 2019/20 campaign, with Formula E’s grid expanding to 12 teams and 24 drivers following the arrival of Mercedes EQ and Porsche.
"As an independent team, to have finished third last season was a fantastic achievement, but we know the competition will be even tougher this time around, especially with the introduction of new teams and drivers," said Filippi.
"We know consistency and preparation is going to be crucial, make or break in fact, so we have put huge emphasis on this from our driver line-up through to our entire team personnel.
"The team’s success is also down to the huge amount of hard work that goes in behind the scenes to each and every race, and we know we have all the ingredients in place for a really promising season.
"And to think that the first race of the new season falls on the fifth anniversary of our maiden Formula E victory will make the season opener even more special."
Formula E’s opening weekend of competition will take place on November 22 and 23 with a double-header race in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia.
