The TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team is a German racing team that competes in Formula E, which is organized by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). The team made its debut in the category at the 2019 Ad Diriyah ePrix, which started the 2019–20 season, and had their first race win at the 2022 Mexico City ePrix.

## History

[edit]

In July 2017, Porsche confirmed that they would leave the FIA World Endurance Championship at the end of the season in order to focus on their Formula E campaign, which was set to begin with the 2019–20 season.[2] This meant that Porsche would be entering the series at the same time as the Mercedes-Benz EQ Formula E Team, though the latter already competed in the 2018–19 season through the affiliated HWA Racelab team.

> Entering FE and achieving success in this category are the logical outcomes of our Mission E road car programme. The growing freedom for in-house technology developments makes FE attractive to us. For us, FE is the ultimate competitive environment for driving forward the development of high performance vehicles in areas such as environmental friendliness, efficiency and sustainability.

> — Michael Steiner, "Porsche quits WEC LMP1 class for Formula E programme, Autosport.com (28 July 2017)[2]

### 2019–20 season

In December 2018, Neel Jani was announced as the first driver to drive for the new team.[3] Brendon Hartley was also involved in the development of the new car.[4] Porsche were then evaluating whether to sign the inexperienced Hartley or not.[5] In July 2019, Porsche announced the former Techeetah driver André Lotterer as the second driver.[6] In September, Porsche announced Simona de Silvestro and Thomas Preining as their new development drivers after Hartley got signed to the GEOX Dragon team.[1] On 1 March 2020, Preining and Frédéric Makowiecki were brought to the Marrakesh rookie test, with Preining posting the fifteenth best lap and Makowiecki ending up the slowest of all drivers who partook the test.[7]

### 2020–21 season

[edit]

In August 2020, it was confirmed that former Mahindra Racing driver Pascal Wehrlein would be joining the Porsche team for the 2020-21 season, replacing Neel Jani.[8]

### 2021–22 season

[edit]

In Mexico City, Pascal Wehrlein claimed his and the team's maiden victory after taking pole position. The team also claimed their first 1-2 finish as Lotterer finished 2nd.

### 2022–23 season

[edit]

António Félix da Costa was set to replace Lotterer and partner Wehrlein. Along the sister team Andretti, the Porsche powertrain dominated the early season, with Wehrlein winning both Diriyah rounds and leading both drivers' and teams' championships. The team scored two more victories with Félix da Costa winning Cape Town ePrix and Wehrlein in Jakarta. However, the team eventually lost the championship lead due to lack of consistency and qualifying pace.

### 2023–24 season

[edit]

Porsche has retained their driver lineup of Wehrlein and Félix da Costa. The team has performed well throughout the season, with 7 victories shared between Wehrlein and Félix da Costa. Jaguar Racing and their drivers Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy were their biggest title rivals. While Wehrlein clinched the Drivers' title, Porsche fell behind Jaguar in both Teams' Championship and Manufacturers' Trophy.

### 2024–25 season

[edit]

Both drivers are retained in season 11, while Wehrlein entered the season as the defending champion.
