Formula E and the FIA today announced, in London, UK, the full team for Season 10 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
The start of this season will be given by pre-season testing in Valencia, scheduled for next Monday 23 October.

For the first time, new talent will have the opportunity to prove their potential on the track alongside elite experienced drivers.
Formula E’s 22 drivers and 11 teams will return to the Ricardo Tormo Circuit, where almost a year ago the new GEN3 car sparked mixed reactions.

Drivers and teams will return to the track with a more solid understanding of the GEN3’s capabilities and ready to challenge their limits.
