Dan Ticktum and David Beckmann join Kiro Race Co. as its Formula E driver lineup for their maiden season, completing the grid for the upcoming championship.

The duo impressed during pre-season testing in Spain, with Ticktum and Beckmann finishing second and fourth fastest respectively, completing 421 combined laps at Jarama.

Kiro team principal Alex Hui emphasized the team's ambitious goals: "We want to be consistent top-10 contenders and redefine what it means to be a racing team." He praised Ticktum as "the best British driver not in F1" and highlighted Beckmann's valuable Formula E experience despite his rookie status.

Ticktum brings three seasons of Formula E experience from NIO and ERT, with nine points finishes in 48 starts. "Formula E is unlike any other motorsport – the racing is relentless, the battles are fierce, and it pushes you to your limits," said Ticktum, expressing optimism about regular top-10 performances following promising pre-season testing.

Beckmann, a Formula 2 podium finisher, joins after making two starts for Andretti in 2022-23 and serving as a test and reserve driver for both Andretti and Porsche. The team will compete as a Porsche customer, using the German manufacturer's previous season technology.

"Joining Kiro Race Co. for my first full season in Formula E is a dream come true," said Beckmann, noting his unique experience with the evolution from GEN2 to GEN3 and GEN3 Evo through his previous roles.

The season opener takes place this Saturday in São Paulo, where both drivers will make their debut for the team.
