Formula E star Nick Cassidy is nearing confirmation of a drive with a Stellantis-powered team for next season after being announced for a WEC outing with Peugeot.
Formula E driver Nick Cassidy is close to securing a spot with a Stellantis-powered team for the next season, having just been announced for a World Endurance Championship race with Peugeot. His departure from Jaguar TCS Racing was confirmed after a successful Season 11 where he won both races in the London finale. Reports suggest that Cassidy may join Maserati MSG Racing, an organization likely to undergo a rebrand under Stellantis ownership. Recent teasers by Peugeot’s WEC team hint at Cassidy’s involvement, further fueling these speculations.
Should Cassidy join the French manufacturer in WEC, it would complement his Formula E commitments, demonstrating his dedication to both championships. Speculation also suggests that Jean-Eric Vergne could be his future teammate at DS Penske, with Taylor Barnard potentially filling Cassidy’s position at the Stellantis-backed team. The status of Jake Hughes and Stoffel Vandoorne at Maserati remains uncertain, as Vandoorne confirmed a Stellantis contract for the next year but withheld further details.
