DS Penske has unveiled a special livery for the Formula E London E-Prix, as the team bows out of the sport after an extended tenure.
A chapter comes to an end in London this weekend, as DS Penske withdraws from the sport to focus on the SailGP series.
Although Season 12 has been a struggle, the team is one of the most successful in the sport’s history, winning multiple titles across its 11 year stint.
To commemorate the end of its time in the sport, DS Penske will run a gold livery.
In a statement the team said: “The DS PENSKE team’s last two events will also be the final Formula E races for DS Automobiles. Joining in Season 2 as the first premium brand ever to enter the championship, DS has built an exceptional sporting pedigree against some of the world’s biggest manufacturers to hold the most successful track record in the series, thanks to two double titles, 18 victories, 55 podiums, 26 pole positions and a record seven podiums in the Teams’ Championship. Now, after 11 years of electric competition and technology transfer, DS Automobiles closes its remarkable Formula E chapter at the end of Sunday.
DS Penske preparing for “brand new era”
Bastien Schupp, Director of Marketing and Communications, DS Automobiles highlighted the team’s achievements.
“This final event of the season also marks the end of DS Automobiles’ magnificent adventure in Formula E. After 11 seasons that have enabled the brand to establish itself as the manufacturer with the most successful record in the history of the series, we can feel proud to have fully achieved the objectives we set ourselves back in 2015. Today, we leave with major learnings in the fields of electrified powertrains, energy management, and overall efficiency of onboard systems.
“These intense years of electric competition, highlighted by records and standout performances, have always provided a tremendous accelerator for innovation at DS Automobiles. The technologies proven in the championship also help feed into research and development of our production models, as shown in particular by our latest creations: DS N°4, DS N°7 and DS N°8, offering up to 750 kilometres of electric range. Now we head towards a brand new era of innovation and emotion with SailGP!”
