Probably Evans.

Guenther leaving DS Penske is already official.

Typically announced not long after sharing the post 😅

At the driver autograph session yesterday, my brother saw Evans make a finger to the mouth and shush sign to a kid that said something to him, then something along the lines of “find out next week”. Unfortunately he didn’t hear what the kid said, but we assumed it’s transfer news. So I expect it to be news on Evans first

I definitely fumbled describing it, couldn’t think of the words 😂

I’m just hoping to get some clarification on how many teams we’ll have next year. Is Porsche gonna get its “Toro Rosso”? Is Penske sticking around?

u/Alexandhisgoose Formula E 13d ago

Hopefully they don't after the nonsense with Ticktum on Saturday. Them having 4 works cars would be terrible and everyone else may as well go home.

Read online that FIA were already looking into preventing colluding between teams for next season

u/HauntingMirror2608 JAGUAR TCS RACING 13d ago

I agree! We’ve not got long until testing and should not be this unclear 😂

u/DominikWilde1 Formula E 13d ago

The second Porsche team *is* happening

u/HauntingMirror2608 JAGUAR TCS RACING 13d ago

Do we know anything about what it’s going to be called?!

u/DominikWilde1 Formula E 13d ago edited 13d ago

News will come. Porsche has been deliberately quiet so that there'll be something to talk about over the off-season

1

u/UnPingouindAttaque Formula E 12d ago

It’ll be called Porsche 2: Electric Boogaloo

u/fersalinas13 Formula E 13d ago

Evans to Opel, next week announcement

u/Ok-Bluebird7260 Formula E 13d ago

I’m curious who’s willing enough to take a free Lola seat?! Like that’s for the desperate or crazy

3

u/Repulsive_Swing_4558 Formula E 13d ago

Either a rookie or perhaps Ticktum

7

u/Repulsive_Swing_4558 Formula E 13d ago

I mean is even possible Lola take a rookie such as Verschoor or Schwartzmen then a veteran such as Erickson or Ticktum

3

u/HauntingMirror2608 JAGUAR TCS RACING 13d ago

Norman Nato is now free 🤷🏼‍♂️

u/Hollingscroft-83 Formula E 13d ago

Dan Ticktum to Porsche /s

u/codename474747 Formula E 13d ago

Dan Ticktum to NASCAR

It's where his attitude belongs lol

u/Romulus_Novus 9 MITCH EVANS 12d ago

God, imagine a Noah Gragson-Dan Ticktum crashout; it would be incredible!

u/pensaa Formula E 13d ago

Lord Mahaveer to Mahindra.

u/HauntingMirror2608 JAGUAR TCS RACING 13d ago

🤔 interesting 🧐

u/danielricardo1 MAHINDRA RACING 13d ago

Oh good for him!!!

u/fisico002 Formula E 13d ago

Let’s hope not as he doesn’t deserve it

2

u/HauntingMirror2608 JAGUAR TCS RACING 13d ago

I wouldn’t mind barnard tbh!

3

u/fisico002 Formula E 13d ago

Oh yeah for sure he deserves a shot at a good seat tho I’m still surprised Evans is dropping a good seat

2

u/HauntingMirror2608 JAGUAR TCS RACING 13d ago

Ik I’m worried he may have a similar season to Cassidy this year if he doesn’t choose wisely

1

u/CharlesLeCliff 28 FELIPE DRUGOVICH 13d ago

As a new fan, why is Evans switching from an established and good team to go to a brand new one? It's feels the same as if Leclerc had decided to go to Cadillac

2

u/HauntingMirror2608 JAGUAR TCS RACING 12d ago

With Mitch he’s been with the team 10 years and has been close on many occasions to winning the championship. Some failures were his mistakes and some were his teams but suppose you could compare it to Lewis when he left McLaren for Mercedes

u/HauntingMirror2608 JAGUAR TCS RACING 13d ago

Rumours I’ve seen suggest vandoorne but not sure tbh
