Nissan Formula E Team Enters Ghiotto and Martins in Berlin Rookie Test
Rookie Seasoning
Nissan Formula E Team will enter reigning FIA Formula 3 champion Victor Martins and multiple Formula 2 race-winner Luca Ghiotto into this month’s ABB FIA Formula E Rookie Test in Berlin.
Ghiotto will take to the Tempelhof Airport Circuit, with the former GP3 Series runner-up also confirmed as simulator driver. The 28-year-old Italian has been working in the team’s simulator since the start of the current Formula E season and has a strong racing CV, including six wins in F2.
Frenchman Martins is part of the Alpine Academy – BWT Alpine F1 Team’s young driver program – and has already taken two podiums and a pole position across the opening three rounds of his debut F2 season. The 21-year-old has impressed many during his junior career, winning the Formula Renault Eurocup title in 2020, before moving up to F3, where he took the 2022 crown.
The Formula E Rookie Test will take place in Berlin on April 24.
