Stoffel Vandoorne's third place in Rome just a few days ago presented HWA RACELAB with its first big success in the ABB FIA Formula E Championship. However, there has been no time for the team to sit back and enjoy the moment: The European leg of the season continues this weekend with the Paris E-Prix.
HWA RACELAB is all set for the start of this season's FIA Formula 3 Championship in May. Drivers Bent Viscaal (NED), Jake Hughes (GBR) and Keyvan Andres (IRN) gained more valuable experience at the third and final official test at the Hungaroring. The trio improved over the course of the two days and concluded the test with a solid team performance.
Success for HWA RACELAB at the GEOX Rome E-Prix: Stoffel Vandoorne came home third in an eventful race to present the team from Affalterbach with its first podium finish in its first season in the ABB FIA Formula E Championship. Gary Paffett failed to finish after being involved in an early, multi-car collision through no fault of his own.
HWA RACELAB has taken the next step on the road to the team's first race in the FIA Formula 3 Championship. Drivers Bent Viscaal (NED), Jake Hughes (GBR) and Keyvan Andres (IRN) gained more valuable experience during the two-day test at Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona. The outing in Spain was the second of three official test events for the German team, before the season gets underway in May.
This weekend, HWA RACELAB and the other teams in the ABB FIA Formula E Championship commence the "European leg" of the season: Rome, Monaco, Paris, Berlin and Bern are the next venues, before the 2018/19 season concludes in July with a double-header in New York. With six races behind them, the new team from Affalterbach's record at the halfway point of the season is a mixed bag: Despite a number of set-backs, Gary Paffett and Stoffel Vandoorne both have points to their name and are looking ahead with confidence to the race in the Italian capital.
