Marco Andretti will pilot the No. 28 Spark-Renault SRT_01E for the Andretti Formula-E Team during Formula E’s fourth round of competition and first in the new year for the 2014-2015 season. The Argentinian race weekend will see the American complete his first laps in the electric-powered seat.
A nine-year veteran of the Verizon IndyCar Series, Andretti is excited to try his hand at the all-electric series. “I’ve been looking forward to the chance to get behind the wheel of a Formula E car,” said Andretti. “Having never been in the car, it’s a bit of an unfamiliar situation for me but the team’s pace looks solid enough for a great result. I like unknown situations; I’m up for the task.”
The third-generation racer will be the only American competing on the 12-turn circuit at Puerto Madero. Racing alongside the 27-year-old American will be Frenchman Jean-Éric Vergne, returning to the Andretti Formula-E Team for his second outing in the Spark-Renault. The Michael Andretti-led team is currently fifth in the championship standings.
