What better place to dress up than the Principality of Monaco? The DS Penske team, competing in Season 10 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, has decided to wear a very special livery for the Monaco E-Prix 2024, with hopes to shine first on the finish line.

If there’s one circuit DS Penske knows well, it’s the one of the Monaco E-Prix. On the racetrack of 3.337 km,the DS Penske team has won twice, including in 2019 with Jean-Éric Vergne. Winner with Mercedes-EQ in 2022, Stoffel Vandoorne, now team-mate of “JEV”, is also a specialist of the legendary circuit.

There’s no doubt that the setting of the sumptuous Principality gives the teams in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship the chance to shine. That’s why the DS PENSKE team, with its DS E-TENSE FE23, will be racing in a special livery. The name says it all: “Grand Gala”.

Usually, the DS PENSKE team races on the world’s racetracks in a predominantly gold livery with a touch of black. In a “nod to the glamorous evenings of Monaco”, in the words of Eugenio Franzetti, Director of DS Performance, the team’s single-seater – currently 5th in the Constructors’ Championship – is changing. On Saturday, April 27, 2024, the car will feature a predominantly black color scheme with a few gold highlights.

Let’s hope this livery brings luck to the Versailles-based team. The team is looking for its first win since Jean-Éric Vergne’s victory at the Hyderabad E-Prix on February 11, 2023. The Frenchman is currently 6th in the Formula E Season 10 drivers’ standings, while Stoffel Vandoorne is 11th.

Start of the 7th Monaco E-Prix, round 8 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Formula E World Championship, Saturday at 15h03 CET
