Lynn’s choice of joining #dsvirginracing is a powerful endorsement for the team. “DS Virgin #racing is the coolest team in the #formulae championship. They are passionate about #racing, and go all out to win. Their marketing is second to none and the DSVO2 car itself just looks great. As a driver, these elements really matter. Oh, and it helps that your cars win races pretty consistently too.”

Speaking of the wider series, Lynn also stated: “Formula E is arguably the most competitive motor #racing championship in the world, with the highest calibre of drivers. As a driver, I want to be competing in the top series, which is why I’ve been trying so hard to get into #formulae, and #ds Virgin was my first choice. So I’m delighted to have signed a deal with #dsvirginracing.”

DS Virgin #racing intends to use Alex in development and testing year-round, benefitting both car development and driver preparation alike in the role. Speaking of the position, Lynn said: “I like the combination of street #racing along with the challenge of energy management. I think this series is going to suit me down to the ground. I look forward to working with Sam and Jose in testing and development of the cars at #ds Performance in Satory.”

So too, does #ds Virgin’s Team Principal Alex Tai: “I’m delighted we have acquired a driver of the calibre and potential of #alexlynn. It is a testament to the strength of #formulae that we’re now attracting drivers like Alex and it speaks volumes that Alex has chosen #dsvirginracing as his team.
