Mouser-Supported Formula E Team Racing Team Heads to Germany for Berlin Doubleheader
April 19, 2023 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the New Product Introduction (NPI) leader™ empowering innovation, is ready to cheer on the DS PENSKE Formula E racing team in Berlin, Germany, for rounds 7 and 8 of the Season 9 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. The race weekend will kick off on April 22 for round 7 and April 23 for round 8.
The DS PENSKE team is coming off a strong showing in Brazil, where the team earned pole position for the March 25 race, ultimately ending the weekend with a double Top 10 finish. The Berlin races will again be taking place at the historic Tempelhof Airport. The concrete slabs of the tarmac will make for a highly abrasive racing surface which will cause some interesting strategies to be deployed to deal with energy management and tire wear. The circuit has ten turns and a nice flowing layout where passing opportunities will be plentiful.
Team drivers for the race are Season 8 Champion Stoffel Vandoorne and two-time Formula E Champion Jean-Éric Vergne. The weekend will also include an in-season rookie test at the historic German airfield following the Sabic Berlin e-Prix, with Robert Shwartzman and Will Stevens piloting the DS E-TENSE FE23 car.
The DS PENSKE Formula E racing team has recently earned the FIA Three-Star Environmental Accreditation. The FIA Environmental Accreditation Program is aimed at helping motorsport teams and mobility stakeholders worldwide to measure and enhance their environmental performance. To achieve accreditation, applicants must demonstrate the existence of a variety of environmental standards, transparently document them in detail in an environmental management system and define clear sustainability goals.
By awarding the team with that special three-star accolade, FIA recognizes that they demonstrate best practices and the commitment to seek continual improvement through the implementation of an environmental management system.
