Citroën Racing joins Formula E

French automotive giant Citroën has announced that it will join Formula E with Citroën Racing set to take to the grid from Season 12.

Citroën says its entry into Formula E provides a "new challenge" in "an electric, innovative and passionate adventure that embodies our values and our vision for the mobility of tomorrow."

Adding: "Citroën is returning to motorsport, an arena that shaped its history and legend - motorsport in its most visionary form: an 100% electric, responsible and committed competition with popular races in the heart of cities, a young, committed, connected audience and a technological, international showcase for the future of mobility."

Citroën Racing is a motorsport powerhouse which has won titles in every form of racing it has entered to-date.

The storied outfit can count victories at Dakar, nine FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) Drivers' titles for its famed Sébastien Loeb/Daniel Elena partnership, eight WRC Manufacturers' titles, three FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) Drivers' titles, three WTCC Teams' World Championship victories and even more title-winning success in the FIA Cross-Country Rally World Cup to its name.

Testing dates and Women's Test confirmed

This past week, Formula E confirmed all the details for the pre-season schedule in Valencia, including a return of the groundbreaking Women's Test on 31 October, with double the track time for the world's best women racers.

All of the teams on the grid - including Citroën Racing - will shake down their Season 12 machinery for the first time over 27-30 October at Circuit Ricardo Tormo with the only opportunity to get on-track collectively before the 2025/26 campaign kicks off with Round 1 from São Paulo on 6 December.
