ABB FIA Formula E World Championship
And now it’s the turn of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship to open a new chapter in the history books of this fabled circuit. In 2027, for the first time ever, Formula E will race in the Netherlands, but even as far back as Season 2 (2015/16) this picturesque European nation has had its fingerprints on the all-electric championship, with two Dutch drivers making their mark.
Robin Frijns joined Formula E in 2015, making his debut at the Beijing E-Prix with the Andretti outfit, immediately making an impact by achieving a podium in only his second race. Frijns would go on to have a long and successful Formula E career, competing in nine seasons and accumulating two race wins and 14 podiums.
Fellow Dutchman, Nyck de Vries, would join him in the paddock in 2019, ahead of Season 6. Fresh off his FIA Formula 2 championship title, de Vries raced with the Mercedes-EQ Formula E Team for three seasons, winning the series’ first official FIA World Championship at the end of 2020/21. Following a brief stint in Formula 1, he returned to Formula E ahead of the 2023/24 season, this time representing Mahindra Racing.
