Mouser Electronics will be in the stands, rooting for the DRAGON / PENSKE AUTOSPORT Formula E all-electric racing team as they take to the streets of Rome for the fourth and fifth races of the 2021–22 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship racing season on April 9 and 10. After an eventful race in Mexico City, the team is looking to pick up some points early in the season. Sérgio Sette Câmara will be piloting the No. 7 Penske EV-5 car, while Antonio Giovinazzi will helm the No. 99 car at the Rome E-Prix.
Since 2015, Mouser and valued manufacturer Molex have been proud partners of the DRAGON / PENSKE AUTOSPORT team. Joining them for the 2021–22 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship racing season are TTI, Inc. and KYOCERA AVX.
The Formula E series features cars that are powered solely by electricity and represent a vision for the future of the motor sports industry, serving as a framework for research and development around zero-emission motoring. The Gen2 cars offer a huge step forward in electric vehicle racing technology, with maximum power of 250 kW and speeds up to 280 km/h. Racing is all about speed and endurance, and racing partnerships are an innovative way for Mouser to communicate its performance-driven business model and promote the newest technologies from its manufacturer partners.
Fans can cast a vote for Sette Câmara and Giovinazzi in FANBOOST, which allows fans to play an active role in influencing the outcome of the race. FANBOOST gives fans the opportunity to vote for their favorite driver and award them an extra boost of power during the race. The five drivers with the most FANBOOST votes are awarded a significant burst of power, which they can deploy in a 5-second window during the second half of the race. Giovinazzi has picked up the top slot in the FANBOOST competition for all three races so far this season. FANBOOST voting for the Rome E-Prix opens April 6 and is available up to 15 minutes into the race.
