Theo Pourchaire is set to return to full-time single-seater racing with Opel for the 2026/27 Formula E season. The 22-year-old French driver has previously competed in various championships, including IndyCar, Super Formula and sportscar racing. Pourchaire's move to Formula E is driven by Opel's ownership by Stellantis, the same corporation that owns Peugeot, for which he currently drives in the World Endurance Championship.
The Frenchman expressed excitement about joining the Opel GSE Formula E Team and the iconic brand's racing history.

The 2026/27 Formula E campaign is scheduled to start in Saudi Arabia on December 18-19.
