Dan Ticktum switches to Fortescue Zero for Formula E Season 13
Dan Ticktum has been announced as the second driver for Fortescue Zero's maiden Formula E season, lining up alongside Taylor Barnard.
The Briton last raced for Cupra Kiro in Formula E where he had been since Season 8. With the team, he achieved two podiums and a further podium and a highest championship finish of 11th in Season 11.
Prior to Formula E Ticktum had a notorious career in single-seaters, winning the Macau Grand Prix twice.
Following the announcement, Ticktum said:
“What I love about Fortescue Zero Racing is that they want to do things differently,”
“To get to race and represent Fortescue Zero Racing in its first season is a huge honour. Getting to be part of building a team from scratch is exciting, especially one that’s got a long history of competing and winning.”
“It’s not lost on me the support I’ve received to get here and the faith that has been put in me. I am extremely grateful and cannot wait to repay that belief by working with Jim Wright and the whole team to make the 2026/27 season a huge success.”
Fortescue Zero Racing Team Principal Jim Wright said:
“Dan is a fierce competitor. He’s fast, fearless, a proven race winner in Formula E and not afraid to push boundaries. At Fortescue, challenging the way things have always been done is part of our DNA.”
“We want that hunger in our garage, matched with the discipline and teamwork needed to deliver results. Dan brings experience, strength and a winning personality to the team.”
“Dan has a reputation for being incredibly quick and racing hard. As a new team we have a lot to prove and together we can all show what Fortescue Zero Racing can do.”
The Formula E season starts in Jeddah on 18th December.
