Rowland and Nato secure 2025 drives with Nissan Formula E

Nissan Formula E has confirmed that Oliver Rowland will retain his seat for the 2024/25 world championship, joined at the team by Norman Nato.

Britain’s Rowland enjoyed a successful Season 10, securing two wins, two pole positions and five further podiums on his way to fourth in the drivers’ standings.

He said he was excited at signing for another year with the Japanese team and looking forward to securing more consistency through the season.

He commented: “It’s been great to have some time off, I’ve been training and working with the team which has been positive. For next season we need to try and bring more consistency to all elements of our race weekends, whether that’s in qualifying or car development.

“Last year we executed some races perfectly, so for this season we have to maintain that progress and improve the small bits we can to continue moving further up the order.”

For Season 11, Rowland will be joined by Frenchman Norman Nato. Nato is familiar with Nissan, having secured the team’s first ever podium during Season 9. Nato said: “I’m really happy to be back with the team. We ended Season 9 strongly together and I’m looking to pick up where we left off. We will be aiming to perform straight away, so the fact I know the car and the team will be helpful.”

The 2024/25 campaign will see the debut of the GEN3 Evo cars, which are set to be even quicker and more efficient than the cars used in Seasons 9 and 10. The calendar will also feature a record 17 races, including a first visit to Miami, a return to Jakarta, a double-header in Monaco and the second ever Tokyo E-Prix, Nissan Formula E Team’s home race.

Tommaso Volpe, managing director and team principal, Nissan Formula E Team added: “We’re excited for Season 11 after a very good performance in the last campaign.

“We’ve refreshed our driver line-up by welcoming back Norman, who will bring his wealth of experience and performance. Norman knows the team well and showed his talent when he was previously with us. His feedback and insight are valuable and he has a track record of developing cars, so we are delighted to see him return. Oli had a fantastic Season 10, and we’re confident he can continue at that level. We believe that Norman and Oli will form a strong pairing, both are team players and will do their best to help us improve throughout the upcoming year.”
