Visiting the streets of Monaco on April 30 is the most prestigious race of the year in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. The TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team will be at the start with two Porsche 99X Electric against the postcard backdrop of the principality on the Cote d'Azur with its world-famous Grand Prix track. The drivers are Pascal Wehrlein (GER/car number 94), who clinched the first victory for Porsche in Mexico this season in the innovative electric racing series, and André Lotterer (GER/car number 36).
Race 6 in the most expensive square mile in the world brings very special challenges for drivers and teams. The streets will not be closed until early Saturday morning for the Formula E performance, and flower pots, parking meters and traffic signs that are in the way will be removed. As a result, there is no shakedown, the otherwise obligatory short test of the 22 cars on the track. There are only two short free practice sessions for the final set-up for the demanding circuit with legendary corners such as Sainte Dévote, Casino and Mirabeau as well as the spectacular passage through the tunnel at the port. After that, the hunt for pole position begins in qualifying.
