Here's the thing about Dan Ticktum: when the Formula E paddock talks about pure, unfiltered one-lap speed and daring race-winning manoeuvres, his name sits right near the top. The British driver, who has established himself as a true fan favourite in the all-electric championship since the 2021/22 campaign, has stayed loyal through all the team's identity shifts—from NIO 333 and ERT Formula E Team to CUPRA KIRO. That raw talent has already yielded two stunning E-Prix victories, and now, as the championship braces itself for the all-new GEN4 era, he is off on a fresh adventure.
For the upcoming 2026/27 season, Ticktum is packing his bags and joining forces with Fortescue Zero Racing. The Australian squad is not messing about either, putting together an absolute powerhouse of an all-British line-up by pairing Ticktum with Formula E's most-recent race winner, Taylor Barnard.
Looking back at how Ticktum earned his reputation, those two victories tell the whole story. The first came at the 2025 Jakarta E-Prix, where a chaotic late-race crash between Jake Dennis and Nyck de Vries opened the door wide open, allowing Ticktum to sneak through into the lead and defend it all the way to the chequered flag. Then came his second triumph at the 2026 Tokyo E-Prix, sealed with a jaw-dropping last-lap overtake around Turn 16 on Dennis after a momentary power cut hit his rival's machine.
Now, with two proven race-winning drivers locked into the garage, Fortescue Zero Racing will head into their debut campaign with serious momentum. And what a stage they are walking into: the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship is returning with a massive, record-breaking 21-race calendar. Two beasts behind the wheel, a brand new technical era, and a massive schedule ahead. We cannot wait to see how this unfolds.
