Drayson Racing has been announced as the first confirmed team in the 2014 Formula E season. Lord Drayson made the announcement at the Low Carbon Racing Conference. Formula E is hoping to have a field of 10 teams for the 2014 season.
Drayson racing will have a two-driver team, but it has not confirmed who those drivers will be yet.
The team will compete with the car that is still being developed by Spark Racing Technologies. The team will also participate in testing the series' cars with Spark Racing Technologies and Formula E.
Drayson Racing says that for the 2015 season it plans to build its own car with its own electric motor and chassis.
"We are hugely excited about the prospect of competing in the opening season of FIA Formula E. We aim to be one of the front runners from the start, leveraging the knowhow we’ve built up over the past two years working on electric drivetrains and developing our 200 mph electric Le Mans prototype. We believe that FIA Formula E has very significant commercial potential, it will attract new fans and new sponsors to motorsport and is on track to become the world’s leading environmentally sustainable global sporting event," said Drayson.
