Theo Pourchaire

Frenchman Theo Pourchaire won the German Formula 4 Championship in 2019 and finished as runner-up in the FIA Formula 3 Championship in 2020. He moved up to Formula 2 as early as 2021, where, after two further successful years, he won the championship title in 2023. He then gained experience in the IndyCar Series and in endurance racing. In 2026, he competed for Peugeot, amongst others, in the World Endurance Championship (WEC) and also worked as a development driver in Formula 1.

Pourchaire gained his first Formula E experience during official rookie tests for the Stellantis team, initially under the Maserati name and later for Citroën Racing. At the rookie training session in Miami in January 2026, he finished second, just 0.093 seconds off the fastest time. He also took part in the rookie test in Madrid for Citroën.

In August 2026, Pourchaire was unveiled as the first lead driver for the newly founded Opel GSE Formula E Team. The Frenchman will make his Formula E racing debut in the 2026/27 season alongside long-serving Jaguar driver Mitch Evans, thereby entering the World Championship right at the start of the Gen4 era.
