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.
Audi se pregăteşte de premiera noului model electric e-tron GT, dar până atunci ne dezvăluie primele detalii despre primul model complet electric RS, lansat de divizia Audi Sport GmbH – RS e-tron GT! Audi e-tron GT a trecut printr-un proces de dezvoltare neobișnuit de scurt. Designul său a fost înghețat într-un stadiu foarte incipient, nu în ultimul rând pentru că Audi a înlocuit în mare măsură modelele fizice cu cele virtuale. Procesul de dezvoltare a fost foarte încet, dar cu decizii rapide folosind canale scurte. Condusă de Audi, compania subsidiară PSW a preluat o parte importantă a lucrărilor, iar Audi Sport GmbH a fost responsabilă pentru configurarea suspensiei.
