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.”
