Ticktum will join the NIO 333 team - who finished last in the teams’ championship laꦗst 🌃year.

Speaking of the news, Ticktum said: “I am very happy to be racing with the NIO 333 Formula E team. It’s going to be quite a big challenge as I have not had long to prepare for the test ne𝐆xt week, and FE is complicated, but it’ll be very exciting.

“There are quite a few different tools🌸 you can use as a driver but it’s a totally different experience to F2, so I’m really looking forward to it, both mentally and physically.

“🃏I’ve had a great few days with the team at Silverstone this week and hopefully we can try to make some progress nex🔴t season and get further up the grid.”

Ahead of the new Formula E season, the team has undergone several senior management changes as it looks to return to the fr✅ont of the grid.

“His race results that iꦏmpress me the most are the two victories in the Macau Grand Prix, one 🏅of the most famous races in the world.

“Though he has shouldered some difficulties during his career, I believe that his 💝experience will pave the way to success. He is a young, bright new star who will shine on the FE racetrack.”

Ticktum will get his first t💮aste of Formula E action next week as testing in Valencia gets underway.&🌞nbsp;

The British 🐼driver will🥃 be forced to miss the final day of the test due to his F2 commitments in Saudi Arabia.
