Overview
- Opel officially announced Mitch Evans as its second driver on Tuesday, completing the public lineup for the Opel GSE Formula E Team ahead of the 2026/27 season.
- Evans will partner Théo Pourchaire, a former Formula 2 champion and recent signing, creating a driver pairing that mixes Evans’s race-winning experience with Pourchaire’s young talent.
- Reports say Evans has already tested the Stellantis Gen4 development car, giving him hands-on time with the new all-wheel-drive, higher-power package before racing begins.
- Opel is entering Formula E as a Stellantis works operation built largely in-house rather than through an outside service partner, and it takes the group’s second factory slot after DS’s exit from the series.
- Opel and Evans frame the move as a title-focused project with immediate ambitions, though some details such as the precise contract length and future sportscar ties are reported but not independently confirmed.
