Former Formula E frontrunner makes surprise return for Gen4 test
Andre Lotterer has made a surprise return to Formula E by testing the Stellantis Gen4 development car at the Monteblanco circuit in Spain. He last raced in Formula E in 2023 and has been called up for the initial development of the new car. Lotterer is sharing testing duties with Citroen Racing driver Nick Cassidy this week as part of the reliability running of the test cars. The manufacturers, including Stellantis, Nissan, Jaguar, Lola, and Porsche, are conducting three days of testing with five cars in action. Lotterer is accompanied by his former Audi teammate Benoit Treluyer, who is testing for Nissan, while other teams have their own drivers like Stoffel Vandoorne and Antonio Felix da Costa for Jaguar. Despite not racing for over two years, Lotterer has remained involved in Formula E as an analyst and co-commentator and is expected to continue in this role for the upcoming season.
