Lucas di Grassi discussed the progress made by Lola ahead of its motorsport return, during an exclusive RacingNews365 interview.
Lucas di Grassi has praised ABT Lola’s unique approach to the upcoming Formula E season, representing the British manufacturer’s re-entry into motorsport. Lola, a historic British manufacturer, has partnered with ABT as its powertrain supplier for Season 11, committing to Formula E until at least 2030. Lola’s entry has garnered attention from significant figures like motorsports director Mark Preston, who previously led DS Techeetah to three titles. The arrival of Lola for the Gen3 EVO introduction excites Di Grassi, who now feels reinvigorated after two challenging seasons. Di Grassi has been particularly impressed by his involvement in the ABT Lola project, emphasizing the collaborative and hands-on approach he has experienced. The ABT Lola project brings together experienced individuals from McLaren, Mercedes, and Yamaha, providing a solid foundation despite the initial challenge of being two seasons behind with the Gen3 machinery.
