Teams For Third Formula E Season Set

The FIA has released the names of the 10 teams entered to take part in the third season of the FIA Formula E Championship, which gets underway in Hong Kong on Oct. 9.

Eight of the 10 teams have been involved since the inaugural season of the world’s first fully-electric single-seater series, though some have undergone a name change since then.

The two new entries come courtesy of Jaguar, the company choosing Formula E to mark its return to motorsport after an absence of more than a decade, and the Chinese Techeetah team, which has taken over Team Aguri’s entry and is owned by China Media Capital, a public equity and venture capital firm based in Shanghai.

Another new name is that of Faraday Future, an advanced mobility company with headquarters in Silicon Valley and Southern California, which has entered into a new technological partnership with Dragon Racing.

The 10 teams entered for the 2016-2017 season are:

ABT Schaeffler Audi Sport

Andretti Formula E

Faraday Future Dragon Racing

DS Virgin Racing

Jaguar Racing

Mahindra Racing

NextEV NIO

Renault e.Dams

Techeetah

Venturi Formula E
