The FIA has approved an 11-team entry list to the 2018/19 🍷Formula E championship ahead of the꧋ start of the new season in Saudi Arabia in December.

Following the addition of Mercedes customer brand HWA to the grid for the all-electric championship’s fifth season, the grid will stand at 11 teams for the first time in Foཧrmula E history.

Other changes to four existing teams have also been approved by the FIA on the new entry list, the most significant being Nissan’s takeover of the triple-title winning Renault proje꧅ct.

Renault e.dams will become Nis🌃san e.dams for Season 5, with the French DAMS team still looking after operation🍬al matters for the team.

BMW’s enhance🅰d factory status in Formula E has also been reflected in the Andretti team’s name change, becoming BMW I Andretti Motorsport for the new campaign.

Following DS Automobile’s split with Virgin to join Techeetah as a technical partner, both teams haꦉve name tweaks. Techeetah becomes DS Techeetah, while the Virgin Racing name last seen in Formula E’s inaugural season is꧃ revived.

The new Formula E season gets underway on December 15 in Saudi A🍬rabia, with test꧋ing taking place at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia from October 16-19.
