British driver Oliver Rowland, who recently secured the drivers’ title after a memorable performance in Berlin, is the team’s top hope. Alongside him, Frenchman Norman Nato returns to the cockpit of car #17, confident after scoring points in three of the last four races at the London circuit.
Special livery celebrates new Nissan LEAF
To celebrate the launch of the new Nissan LEAF, manufactured in the United Kingdom, the team will showcase a special teal edition of its iconic vibrant livery. The initiative marks the arrival of the third generation of the 100% electric model, built on more than 15 years of experience and based on around 700,000 units sold since the debut of the pioneering LEAF in 2010 — the world’s first mass-market zero-emission electric vehicle.
With a bold and sophisticated look, the new LEAF promises to be a symbol of Nissan’s sustainable vision, linking the brand’s electric vehicle heritage with its future on the track and on the road.
Challenging circuit in the heart of London
The 2.09 km Excel London Circuit is the only semi-indoor track on the Formula E calendar. The layout alternates between indoor stretches inside the exhibition center and fast corners around the Royal Victoria Docks, requiring precision and strategy. The narrow track makes overtaking difficult, making qualifying even more crucial. The best overtaking opportunities are expected at Turn 1 and the outer chicane at Turns 10-11, before re-entering the indoor section at Turn 16.
In last year’s London edition, Rowland thrilled the home crowd by winning after starting from ninth position. The team hopes to repeat that feat in this season finale.
