Venturi has been a pioneer in the field of electromobility since the turn of the century. So, when Spanish entrepreneur Alejandro Agag began laying the foundations of what would become the FIA Formula E Championship, it was only natural for him to turn to Gildo Pastor, President of Venturi Automobiles.

Drawing on his experience and expertise in the EV arena, Gildo quickly pledged his support to Formula E as the first manufacturer to join the championship and today one of only a handful of constant participants in the series since the inaugural 2014 season.

In 2015, Venturi became an FIA-approved manufacturer in Formula E, supplying full powertrain systems to Dragon Racing [2015-2016] and Mercedes-backed privateer team HWA Racelab [2018-2019].

The next significant step for the team came in June 2018, when Susie Wolff was appointed as Team Principal – tackling the challenge of taking Venturi to the next level in an ever-competitive championship by strengthening and optimising the team’s operations.

On the eve of the Formula E Season 6 opener in Diriyah, Venturi announced a three-year relationship with global telco innovators, ROKiT. Building upon its existing title partnership in Formula 1, ROKiT entrusted Venturi Racing to expand its motorsport portfolio into the world’s premier all-electric racing series – an endorsement of the progress the team made in Season 5 and the ever-increasing appeal of Formula E as a platform for ground-breaking, premium global brands to showcase their vision.

With a new name in ROKiT Venturi Racing, a striking new red and black livery and a new powertrain supplier in Mercedes-Benz, Season 6 signals the start of an exciting new era for the world’s only Monegasque racing team.
