Nissan Formula E Team took an excellent win and second place in the first Jeddah E-Prix held in the Kingdom in February this year. Oliver Rowland took a dominant victory in Round 4 of the 2024/25 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, backing up his second place finish the day before.
The British driver put in a great performance, leading for much of the race and executing a perfect Attack Mode strategy to return to the front in the latter stages. In a healthy position in terms of energy, Rowland extended his gap to almost six seconds, leading a Nissan-powertrain 1-2. Currently leading the championship with 69 points, Rowland said “I’m so happy to have taken another victory with a great performance in Jeddah. The car was fantastic all weekend, Qualifying second was great, I dropped back early and made the most of the slipstream to save some energy which was the perfect scenario.
At times it was getting a bit aggressive in the pack, so I chose those moments to get to the front and stay out of trouble. Our strategy with Attack Mode was perfect and it ensured I was able to extend a gap at the front for a smooth finish. I’m looking to elevate our team strategy and optimise performance in Monaco”
As the Monaco E-Prix approaches, motorsport enthusiasts and sustainability advocates can anticipate an electrifying showcase of talent, technology, and forward-thinking innovation. Stay tuned for an unforgettable race as Nissan Formula E Team takes on the challenge of Monaco on May 3rd and 4th.
