Nissan Formula E Team is primed for the second round of the 2024/25 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship this weekend at the Mexico City E-Prix.
Following the opening event in São Paulo, which saw the squad fight at the front with both Oliver Rowland and Norman Nato demonstrating excellent speed throughout the weekend, the duo is set to get back to work in the motorsport-loving nation.
Having debuted in Season 2, the Mexico City E-Prix is a recurring fixture in the Formula E calendar, being held every year at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodriguez apart from 2021. The event presents a rare challenge to all involved, being situated 2,250 meters above sea level, the highest altitude circuit Formula E travels to on the 2024/25 calendar.
One of the most visited tracks in Formula E history, the venue offers a unique experience, with the stunning stadium section engulfing the cars in crowd cheers as they navigate their way through the tricky Turns 13-18, before being launched onto the long start/finish straight.
Nissan has a rich history in Mexico, having operated there for more than 60 years. The company established its first manufacturing plant outside Japan in the country back in 1966. Over 14 million vehicles have been produced in Mexico, with more than 15 million engines also being made, for both local and international markets. The company sold more than 240,000 cars in the country in 2023, equaling a huge 17.7% of the market share, more than any other brand.
Track action begins on Friday at 17:00 (UTC-6), with qualifying at 09:40 on Saturday ahead of the race at 14:00.
