Daniil Kvyat is set to appear for the DS Penske team in the extra free practice session for drivers who have not raced in Formula E next month
Daniil Kvyat is confirmed to participate in the extra free practice session for drivers new to Formula E next month, driving Maximilian Guenther’s Gen3Evo car for DS Penske. Before the session on February 13, Kvyat will undergo a seat fitting and simulator session at the team’s base in Satory, Paris. Due to a reduced racing schedule in 2025 focusing on IMSA endurance races, Kvyat is looking at a potential customer Ligier SC63 project for 2026, leading to a relatively inactive year. Throughout his career, Kvyat has been connected with various Formula E teams, including talks with Mahindra and testing for NIO 333 in 2023. The upcoming DS Penske opportunity in Jeddah is seen by Kvyat as a chance to pursue a more significant role in Formula E for the 2026 season, possibly aiming for a race seat or a reserve and development position.
