Ep. 176: The Coolest Thing About The ABB Formula E Race In Miami Is...

*Welcome to Miami* I had the thrill of experiencing the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship’s electrifying return to Miami at Homestead-Miami Speedway, marking its first appearance since season 1! ABB, a global leader in electrification and automation, is driving innovation through partnerships with Formula E and NASCAR, showcased by a captivating race-day driver swap where W-series triple champion Jamie Chadwick piloted NASCAR’s EV prototype, and NASCAR’s Rajah Caruth tested the Formula E Gen3 Evo. In this episode, I sit down with Chris Shigas, ABB’s Vice President of Strategic Partnerships, Chris Poynter, Division President at ABB, and Mark Preston, Motorsport Director of Lola Cars, to dive into the future of electrified motorsport. Fun fact: shortly after our interview, Mark Preston’s team at Lola celebrated a stellar second-place finish with Brazilian Formula E star Lucas Di Grassi! Tune in for an inside look at the technology and passion fueling this high-voltage weekend._______________________________This episode is sponsored by ABB, a global technology leader in electrification and automation, enabling a more sustainable and resource-efficient future.
