New Delhi: Citroen will be joining Formula E for the 12th season of the motorsport, which is due to start from December 2025. It is going to replace the Stellantis sister brand Maserati’s entry in the all-electric discipline. Though with much less experience in single-seater racing, Citroen have a good history in motorsport, with the World Rally Championship (WRC), Dakar Rally and the World Touring Car Championship (WTCC).
Their coming to Formula E will be a return to world championship racing as a manufacturer for the first time since exiting WRC in 20219.
Maserati made their debut in Formula E in 2023. However, the Italian manufacturer have decided to leave the championship after just three seasons due to operational issues. Stellantis have opted to replace Maserati with another brand from their kitbag, Citroen.
In the coming months, more details are expected to follow, though Citroen is expected to continue working with MSG, which had operated Maserati’s Formula E team as well. Citroen will be competing with another sister brand, DS, along with other teams which include Porsche, Nissan, Mahindra and Jaguar.
Former Formula E champion Jean-Eric Vergne and former Jaguar Formula E driver Nick Cassidy are expected to be announced as the team’s drivers.
Season 12 will also mark the last one under the current Gen 3 Evo regulations before the all-new Gen 4 cars are introduced for the 2026-27 season. All teams will be running and testing their season 12 race cars for the first time at Valencia pre-season test during October 27th-30th. The season is set to start in Sao Paulo E-Prix on December 6th, 2025.
