Less than two weeks after finishing 21st in the Indianapolis 500, Justin Wilson will be behind the wheel of a far different form of open-wheeled racing car on the streets of Moscow.
The 36-year-old Briton will make his FIA Formula E series debut at the Moscow ePrix on Saturday, June 6, replacing American driver Scott Speed at Andretti who will be at the Red Bull Global Rallycross at X Games Austin.
“I’m looking forward to making my Formula E debut with Andretti,” Wilson told FIAFormulaE.com. “I’ve been following the championship from the start, and it is a very interesting formula. I appreciate Michael [Andretti] giving me this opportunity. I know there is a lot to learn, but I am excited about this new challenge and looking forward to the Moscow ePrix weekend already!”
Wilson will team with Jean-Eric Vergne for the race at the team that has seen more driver changes than any other team this season, with Wilson, Vergne, Speed, Franck Montagny, Marco Andretti, Charles Pic and Matthew Brabham all taking turns behind the wheel. The Andretti Formula E team currently sits sixth in the FIA Formula E team standings.
