The Nissan Formula E Team secured 26 points in Round 3 of the Diriyah E-Prix, marking their debut in Season 10 of the ABBFIA Formula E World Championship. After a disappointing Friday, where Oliver Rowland finished 13th and Sacha Fenestraz retired with damage, the team bounced back in style. Fenestraz took the top spot in Qualifying Group A, while Rowland joined him in the Duels after setting the fastest time in Group B.
While Fenestraz was knocked out in the quarter-finals, Rowland earned victory in all three Duels, setting the quickest time at each stage and claiming the three-point offer for the Julius Baer Pole Position. In the 36-lap Rowland struggled and lost his spot and shuffled down to third. Meanwhile, Fenestraz enjoyed a strong run, battling hard with those around him and joining the lead pack for the final laps, picking up his first points of these as on in sixth. The team will now return for the São Paulo E-Prixon on 16 March.
Nissan Formula E Team’s managing director and team principal, Tommaso Volpe, said that Round 3 was a successful race, despite a frustrating race. The team returned with a strong car, securing 26 points.
