After Misano, the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship continues its European tour at the legendary 3.3-kilometer Monaco circuit, which will host the 22 drivers who will compete in the 100% electric category on April 27.DS Automobiles and its partner PENSKE AUTOSPORT will display a unique car for the eighth round of the 10th season (the seventh race to be held in Monaco): the DS E-TENSE FE23 'Grand Gala'. This special decoration pays tribute to the brilliant gala nights for which Monaco is famous.DS PENSKE occupies fifth position in the team championship and is focused on its clear objective of returning to be among the leaders of the category. To achieve this goal, the team relies on the talent of Frenchman Jean-Eric Vergne - two-time Formula E champion and winner of the 2019 Monaco E-Prix -, as well as his Belgian teammate Stoffel Vandoorne - 2022 champion, who won the Monaco race that same year.There is no doubt that the DS E-TENSE FE23 'Grand Gala' developed by DS Performance will be one of the main assets of this race, which remains one of the most important events of the season.

It’s time for the Japanese Grand Prix, one of the most popular events on the calendar for enthusiasts and F1 folk alike. Suzuka first featured on the World Championship trail almost four decades ago and along with two races at Fuji in the mid-70s and again in 2007 and 2008 and with two Pacific Grands Prix in the Nineties, the Land of the Rising Sun has played an important part in the history of the sport. Suzuka is special, not just because of the beautiful figure-of-eight track, but also because of the electrifying atmosphere around the circuit, the grandstands packed with local fans, both young and old who love to dress up in race suits, often wearing the most bizarre home-made caps made to look like the race cars, as they wander around the track and even in the paddock.If the 18 corners that make up Suzuka circuit could talk, they would tell the tale of some of the most memorable moments in the history of the sport. So many world championships have been decided here, many of them in favour of Scuderia Ferrari. In 2000 came the “Red Dawn” as the tifosi called it, when Michael Schumacher won the race to clinch his first title in red, repeating the feat in Japan in 2003. There were also moments of disappointment for the Prancing Horse, in 1990 when Alain Prost was beaten to the crown by Ayrton Senna and in 1998, when Schumacher was bested by Mika Häkkinen.
