DS Automobiles one of Formula E’s most successful marques is set to begin a new chapter as a partner of PENSKE AUTOSPORT, with the newly christened DS Penske.
Not only this, they have confirmed their driver line-up for Season 9, they welcome the current World Champion, Stoffel Vandoorne alongside double champion, Jean-Eric Vergne.
With the new partnership alongside one of motorsport’s most recognisable team names sealed, and two of the quickest drivers on the grid in the bag. With the Director of DS Performance, Thomas Chevaucher has his eyes on silverware including the world titles.
DS was among one of the first manufacturers to enter Formula E back in 2015, and the French marque continues to see the world’s foremost electric racing series as key to its race to road technology transfer and research development.
The start of a new association is always a big moment, and all of us at DS Performance are eager to begin this new adventure with PENSKE AUTOSPORT. We are starting this partnership in the best possible way by having two champions in the team! Thanks to Stoffel and Jean-Eric, we probably have one of the best line-ups and also the fastest pairing on the grid. With the powertrain and software expertise of DS Performance, we are now in an ideal position to continue our hunt for victories and titles.

We’re thrilled to partner with DS Automobiles, an iconic automotive brand who shares our ambitions in striving for excellence. This is a major milestone for our team, and something we have been looking forward to for years. Together we will push the technological boundaries in our hunt for performance and wins. With world champion driver Stoffel and two-time champion Jean-Eric, I am confident that we have one of the strongest line-ups on the grid!
