The Mouser Electronics-sponsored Faraday Future Dragon Racing team is excitedly preparing for the fourth leg of the 2017 Formula E championship series set for April 1 in Mexico City. Lead driver Jerome D’Ambrosio won the Mexico City ePrix last year, and hopes are high for an exciting finish at the very challenging Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, which features a circuit sitting at 2,285 meters above sea level — one of the highest-altitude tracks in the world.
The team took a technological leap into the future this season with an innovative drive train. Drivers D’Ambrosio and Loic Duval worked out some kinks in the first three outings this season in Hong Kong, Marrakesh and Buenos Aires, tweaking the car to prepare it for the 2.1-kilometer Mexico City course that features 18 tough turns.
Mouser is a proud sponsor of the 2016–2017 Dragon Racing team in collaboration with TTI, Inc. and valued supplier partners Molex and Panasonic. This is the third straight year that Mouser Electronics is sponsoring Formula E racing, a high-tech sport that is paving the way for future automotive technologies. Formula E features cars powered exclusively by electric power and represents a vision for the future of the motor sports industry, serving as a framework for research and development around the electric vehicle.
After Mexico City, the team travels to Monaco on May 13 and then Paris on May 20. The remaining schedule includes six races in three venues: Berlin on June 10 and 11 (with the latter replacing the scheduled July 1 race in Brussels), New York City on July 15 and 16 and Montreal on July 29 and 30.
