Lola will part ways with Abt at the end of the current Formula E season
Lola is set to part ways with the Abt organization at the end of the current Formula E season as part of a plan to centralize its Formula E entry in-house.
The decision was communicated by Lola to Abt last week, even though the partnership was only 18 races in after being announced in April 2024.
Lola’s motorsport director, Mark Preston, confirmed the plans to consolidate Formula E operations at their Silverstone HQ to enhance efficiency and innovation.
Abt is left without a confirmed representation for the first time since 2022, after sitting out that season following Audi’s withdrawal from Formula E.
Lola has committed to the Gen4 period of Formula E, with plans to launch further projects off the back of the Formula E program in the future.
