“This is a testament to the team’s hard work, determination and passion to always strive to achieve what others see as unachievable. I am very much looking forward to seeing the car debut at an iconic event like Goodwood, representing the whole of Formula E as the series takes a step into its new era in 2023,” he added.
For his part, driver Oliver Rowland expressed his delight at being one of the first to be behind the wheel of the M9Electro “The acceleration is impressive and it feels very fast overall. I’m sure there will be some good racing next season.”
