Round 3 of the inaugural FIA Formula E series will take place in Punta del Este this Saturday, with two new names entering the field.
Last week, the announcement was made that three-time class winner at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Antonio Garcia, will be filling in for Ho-Pin Tung at China Racing, as Tung is competing in an endurance race in Abu Dhabi.
F1 star Jean-Eric Vergne, meanwhile, will be Franck Montagny’s third teammate of the year, as Vergne will join Charles Pic and Matthew Brabham on the list of names that have driven the No. 28 car at Andretti Formula E this season.
The 31-lap race will take place on the streets of Punta del Este, Uruguay with the race being shown LIVE at 1 p.m. ET on FOX Sports 2 Saturday.
