Theo Pourchaire to make full-time return to single-seater racing

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. He believes the Gen4 car, known for its power, all-wheel drive and acceleration, is a perfect fit for his development. Pourchaire is expected to race alongside Mitch Evans, with Sophia Florsch serving as a test and development driver. The 2026/27 Formula E campaign is scheduled to start in Saudi Arabia on December 18-19.
