Kiro reveal their livery, which will definitely be easy to pick out in a group of cars. No drivers confirmed but with the number 33 being used in the promotional images I think it’s fair to say Dan Ticktum will be retained for another season. I believe the Formula E website said that both Ticktum and Sette Camara were being considered for being kept so I would expect that he’ll be back as well.

Nice livery! Maybe they can partner with Monster?

As it turns out, Sette Camara might be on the chopping block. Multiple sources have reported this, but according to The Race; he’s still an option for the team, but wouldn’t be their first choice. Instead, the team seem to want A) David Beckmann, or B) A Porsche factory driver as a result of the new link up (namely, Porsche seem to want Thomas Preining to get the seat). Time will tell, and I doubt we’ll be waiting long to find out who the second driver is (being posted presuming Ticktum is staying).

Porsche with a new colourscheme too:


I like it, but I wonder why they chose purple, as black and red are quite commonly associated with the brand.

Following the use of that colourway on the flagship Taycan Turbo GT - the brand's most powerful production car to date.

I'd use warm colors, like the badge.

Another livery revealed, this time from Andretti:

Probably the livery with the least change so far, but still looks great.

Would imagine most of the grid reveal their colours this week as they’re testing in under a weeks time.

As a result of the recent flooding in Spain, there is a a large question mark about Formula E’s preseason test. Obviously, this isn’t the biggest concern surrounding the floods, but Formula E is currently looking into alternate methods of travel, as the roads to the Valencia circuit have been destroyed.

On a lighter note, Envision have taken the covers off of their car;


Not much change from last year’s livery, but it looks fine.

Kiro are reported to be considering signing Andre Lotterer to race for them this season:

Considering the previous reports of Kiro wanting a Porsche works driver and Lotterer not being retained for the WEC, as well as having experience in Formula E, this claim isn't exactly unbelievable.

Meanwhile, McLaren have unveiled their new livery:

More black than years prior, but not too different, I like the way they've implemented the orange onto the front of the car.
