LONDON, July 24 (Reuters) - Porsche has extended its commitment to the all-electric Formula E world championship by two years until the end of 2026, the German car manufacturer and series organisers said on Monday. Porsche entered Formula E in 2019 and the current season nine is their most successful so far with four wins from 14 races. "We remain convinced that our presence and successes in Formula E will lay the foundation for future mobility solutions," said Porsche executive board member Michael Steiner in a statement. "We look forward to playing an active role in shaping the successful future of Formula E and thereby giving electric mobility even more impetus on a global scale." Porsche last year discussed joining forces in Formula One with reigning champions Red Bull but those talks came to nothing, with the British-based team eventually doing a deal with Ford.

MEXICO CITY, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Britain's Jake Dennis won the first race of electric Formula E's Gen3 era on Saturday with a dominant drive for the Porsche-powered Avalanche Andretti team in Mexico City. The race had three safety car periods and Dennis also set the fastest lap. "To win by that margin, start on the front row and get Porsche a one-two is absolutely incredible," said the Briton. "It was such a physical race, these cars are so hard to drive physically and with the lower grip as well it just makes everything so challenging. Abt's Dutch driver Robon Frijns suffered a broken left wrist after a first lap impact and will have surgery in Mexico, his team said.
