Théo Pourchaire has spoken to Formula E's newsroom ahead of Opel's debut in the championship. The 2023 F2 champion described the new GEN4 car as a "game changer", saying it's the fastest-accelerating race car he has driven and significantly quicker through corners than GEN3. He also spoke about adapting to Formula E, working with the Opel team, and the extensive simulator and development work taking place behind the scenes as manufacturers prepare for the new era.

Key points:

• Pourchaire says the GEN4's power is "crazy" and called it the fastest-accelerating car he's experienced.
• He believes the new car is much quicker in corners than GEN3.
• Opel's arrival is a source of pride for him, describing the manufacturer as a legendary brand.
• Testing is ongoing, with teams still learning about the new car ahead of the GEN4 era.

Saw this in the mall and couldn't help but take some snaps. It's your chance to become a bonafide FE Porsche driver!

Like, look at those fenders 😋

FE fans, I have had this question ever since the Gen4 car design was revealed last November, and the hype grew for the coming season.

What is it about the Gen4 era that excites you and fascinates you the most?

Is it the car, or the sheer speed and power? Is it next year's calendar and the tracks the championship is going to? Or is it just thinking about FE levelling up its game?

I'm actually putting together a podcast episode on the same elsewhere, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

Much like how Mexico City is changing to the full course layout, will they modify the layout to accomodate the new Gen4 cars or will they keep it the same?

When is the pre season testing? I can’t find anything to say about it. I know it’s in Spain but know it’s coming up soon. Just thinking there is still quite a few drivers yet to be announced and an announcement pending for the second Porsche team.
