Veteran Verizon IndyCar Series driver Marco Andretti will make his FIA Formula E Championship debut on Jan. 10 in Argentina in the No. 28 Andretti Autosport-prepared car.
“Having never been in the car, it’s a bit of an unfamiliar situation for me but the team’s pace looks solid enough for a great result,” said Andretti, whose last seat time in a race car was the Verizon IndyCar Series 2014 season finale in August at Auto Club Speedway. “I like unknown situations; I’m up for the task.”
The third-generation racer will be the only American competing on the 12-turn circuit at Puerto Madero in Buenos Aires. Jean-Eric Vergne will drive the No. 27 car for the team, which is fifth in the championship standings through three rounds.
