The FIA has officially confirmed the return of Citroen to motorsport in an official statement, marking their comeback to racing.
Citroen, a French car manufacturer with a rich history of success in various motorsport series such as the WRC and WTCC, is now set to compete in Formula E, the FIA’s all-electric racing series.
This move comes after McLaren’s exit from Formula E, as the series aims to expand its grid, with Citroen joining in from season 12 (2025-26) onward.
Citroen expressed their excitement about returning to motorsport, highlighting Formula E’s electric, sustainable, and globally popular nature in an official statement.
Additionally, the upcoming Formula E season will see changes with the departure of Neom McLaren and Maserati, replaced by Stellantis, with the season kicking off in Sao Paulo in December and featuring 18 races in total.
British driver Oliver Rowland, the reigning World Drivers’ Champion, will defend his title with Nissan Formula E Team in the 12th season of the all-electric racing series.
