Nissan Formula E Team’s Reserve and Simulator Driver Sérgio Sette Câmara will make his maiden race appearance for the squad at the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship Berlin E-Prix on 12-13 July, filling in for Norman Nato, who will be absent due to his World Endurance Championship commitments.

 

An experienced Formula E driver, Sette Câmara has 66 races on his CV since he made his series debut in 2020. The 27-year-old joined Nissan Formula E Team ahead of Season 11, and has been working in the team’s simulator and development car throughout the campaign so far.

 

The event will mark Sette Câmara’s first official outing for the squad in the Nissan e-4ORCE 05. He will be looking to help the team continue its excellent form so far this season, which sees the outfit sit second in the Teams’ Championship, with Nissan currently topping the Manufacturers’ Standings with five rounds to go.

 

Tommaso Volpe, managing director and team principal, Nissan Formula E Team: “It’s a shame Norman can’t be with us in Berlin, but we’re delighted to have Sérgio stepping in. Sérgio’s extensive experience in Formula E and his time with the team this season make him the best-placed driver to step in and take on this challenge. Formula E is a unique series and, as we’ve seen in the championship in recent seasons, it can be difficult for drivers to come in and immediately be on the pace due to the specificities of the cars, tires and energy management. However, we are confident we have the best man for the job and look forward to seeing what he can do on track in Berlin.”

“I’m excited to race for the Nissan Formula E Team in Berlin. It’s a good opportunity for me to step into one of the leading cars in the championship, something I haven’t experienced before in this series, and I feel ready to give my all. Even in my role as reserve driver, it’s been a pleasure to be part of a team with such a strong, winning mentality. The environment at Nissan is one that pushes you to grow, and just being around it is motivating. Being back on the grid is special, but doing it with Nissan does make it more meaningful.

 

“In regards to the race itself, there are a number of firsts I’ll have to face in Berlin. The pit-boost and the all-wheel-drive system introduced for GEN3 EVO car are a couple of them, as well as the new softer tire spec, but I’ll do plenty of laps on the simulator and try to arrive as prepared as I possibly can. I’m also really keen to team up with Oli, he’s a driver I’ve always admired for his speed and he’s proven that so far this year with his incredible performances. It’s a great chance for me to learn from him, we get on well and I’m confident we will work together strongly in Berlin.”
