Opel has announced Théo Pourchaire as the first racing driver of the new Formula E factory team. The 22-year-old French athlete will take part in the program that starts the electric world championship with the GEN4 period.

Pourchaire's Formula 2 championship is linked to Opel's approach to motorsport that relies on young talent. The team sees the increased performance of the new vehicle generation as one of the important single-seater transitions in the pilot's career.

The pilot counts Opel's racing history and the development potential of the new program as the basis of the agreement. While the announcement finalizes the first leg of the squad, the team's GEN4 development work and preparations for participation in the championship continue.
