Formula E star Nick Cassidy is set to join Peugeot’s World Endurance Championship Hypercar squad for the 2026 season, as part of a broader deal with Peugeot parent, Stellantis. Cassidy, a former Envision and Jaguar FE driver, is likely to race for the team known as Maserati MSG Racing in FE in 2025/26.
