隨著2021/2022賽季國際汽聯(lián)FE世界錦標賽（以下簡稱“FE”）官方測試的日益臨近，各車隊車手席位的歸屬也逐一揭曉。今日，NIO333 FE車隊正式確定車手陣容。來自英國的賽場后起之秀丹· 提克圖姆（Dan Ticktum）將加入車隊，與奧利弗· 特維（Oliver Turvey）搭檔組成全新車手陣容，共同代表NIO333 FE車隊出擊FE賽場，迎接第八賽季挑戰(zhàn)。同時，亞當·卡羅爾（Adam Carroll）將繼續(xù)擔任車隊發(fā)展及預備車手。

在經(jīng)歷了國際汽聯(lián)F2世界二級方程式錦標賽（以下簡稱“F2”）兩個賽季的激烈角逐后，丹·提克圖姆將以新人之姿加入NIO333FE車隊，代表車隊駕駛33號賽車征戰(zhàn)FE第八賽季比賽。2020年，丹·提克圖姆在其F2新秀賽季中表現(xiàn)搶眼，不僅在英國銀石主場取得了個人職業(yè)生涯首個F2分站冠軍，最終更以四度登上領(lǐng)獎臺為個人首個F2賽季畫上了圓滿的句點。目前，2021賽季F2爭奪仍在繼續(xù)，丹·提克圖姆已兩度斬獲分站冠軍，在賽季尚余兩場比賽之際，暫列車手積分榜第四。值得一提的是，丹·提克圖姆曾于2017、2018年，在競爭激烈的澳門格蘭披治大賽車中，兩度奪得澳門F3世界杯冠軍。自澳門格蘭披治大賽車創(chuàng)辦以來，僅有三位車手在F3比賽中取得過該項成就。

丹·提克圖姆表示：“我很高興能夠代表NIO333FE車隊參加FE新賽季的角逐。這對我將是一個相當大的挑戰(zhàn)，不僅因為我沒有多少時間來準備下周的官方測試，也是因為FE這項賽事較為復雜，但我相信這將是一個非常有趣的賽季。作為車手我具有一定的駕駛經(jīng)驗，但駕駛FE賽車與駕駛F2賽車是完全不同的。我非常期待第八賽季的到來。過去幾天，我在銀石與車隊的相處十分融洽，希望我們在新賽季的比賽中能夠取得進步，提高比賽成績?！?/p>

自FE首賽季倫敦收官站起，奧利弗·特維便始終與車隊攜手并肩，作為正式車手征戰(zhàn)每一賽季。在過去的幾個賽季中，奧利弗·特維代表車隊屢獲殊榮。2016/17賽季，奧利弗·特維在墨西哥站獲得個人首個桿位；2017/18賽季，他再次于墨西哥站中斬獲桿位，并最終以第二名完賽，收獲個人第一座FE分站獎杯。

奧利弗·特維表示：“非常開心能夠繼續(xù)代表NIO333FE參加FE的比賽，延續(xù)這段自第一賽季以來一起走過的旅程。能在全新的銀石總部與各位車隊成員見面，這種感覺太美妙了。無論是致力于推動車隊發(fā)展的管理團隊，夜以繼日進行研發(fā)、測試工作的工程師團隊，還是積極為賽車做準備的技師團隊，每個人都在非常努力地為新賽季的到來做準備。雖然我們都知道新賽季的FE將對我們帶來不小的挑戰(zhàn)，但我覺得我們正在朝著積極的方向前進，我已經(jīng)迫不及待地想?yún)⒓酉轮茉诎蛡愇鱽喤e行的官方測試了。”

此外，亞當·卡羅爾將在瓦倫西亞完成個人在NIO333FE車隊的首次公開測試。官方測試期間，由于丹·提克圖姆將于當?shù)貢r間周二晚離開瓦倫西亞，前往沙特參加F2本賽季倒數(shù)第二站比賽，亞當·卡羅爾將替代前者，繼續(xù)駕駛33號賽車完成余下測試任務。

亞當·卡羅爾表示：“能繼續(xù)和車隊在一起真是太好了，從上賽季柏林站結(jié)束之后大家一直都在努力的工作。新的銀石總部設施真的令人印象深刻，我認為在如此條件下，一切都會朝著積極的方向發(fā)展。我們會將第七賽季獲得的經(jīng)驗與進步發(fā)揮出來，并將這種勢頭延續(xù)到下一季。我非常盼望第八賽季能盡快到來，也期待下周在瓦倫西亞駕駛NIO333FE賽車參與測試。”

NIO333FE車隊CEO王笑表示：“終于迎來第八賽季，看到我們?nèi)碌你y石基地、新的車手陣容和全新面貌的團隊，我非常興奮。就像我今天在國際汽聯(lián)亞太地區(qū)智慧城市高峰論壇上的發(fā)言一樣，我想我們已經(jīng)做好了準備為全球粉絲貢獻更佳表現(xiàn)，取得更多的積分甚至登上領(lǐng)獎臺。

熱烈歡迎丹新賽季的加盟。我對丹的深刻印象是在澳門的比賽中。澳門格蘭披治大賽車是世界最著名的賽事之一，很多世界冠軍都在澳門有過出色的表現(xiàn)。丹的兩次澳門F3奪冠，吸引了我。他經(jīng)歷了一些職業(yè)生涯的波折，我相信這些經(jīng)歷會使他成長令他成熟。放眼未來，我相信車隊的選擇，希望一顆新星在FE中綻放光芒。

毫無疑問，奧利弗是車隊的重要成員，他為車隊貢獻了很多精彩時刻，中國車迷經(jīng)常對我說，奧利弗已經(jīng)與車隊的靈魂緊緊地捆綁在一起。希望兩位車手精誠團結(jié)、緊密合作，為實現(xiàn)新賽季成績的突破，交上滿意答卷?！?/p>

11月29-12月2日，F(xiàn)E將在西班牙瓦倫西亞的里卡多-托爾莫賽道進行官方測試。國際汽聯(lián)FE世界錦標賽第八賽季揭幕戰(zhàn)將于2022年1月28 /29日在沙特阿拉伯·迪麗耶舉行。

Adam Carroll will continue with the team in the position of Development and Reserve Driver.

Dan Ticktum joins 333 Racing from two successful seasons in the highly competitive FIA Formula 2 series.

Dan Ticktum, driver #33?NIO 333 001

"I am very happy to be racing with the NIO 333 Formula E team. It’s going to be quite a big challenge as I have not had long to prepare for the test next week, and Formula E is complicated, but it’ll be very exciting. There are quite a few different tools you can use as a driver but it’s a totally different experience to Formula 2, so I’m really looking forward to it, both mentally and physically. I’ve had a great few days with the team at Silverstone this week and hopefully we can try to make some progress next season and get further up the grid.”

Since joining the Formula E series for the Season 1 finale in London, Oliver Turvey has become a consistent member of NIO 333 Formula E team line-up. Highlights with the team include his maiden pole at the Mexico E-Prix in Season 3, the same year he secured his place in eight consecutive Super Pole shoot-outs. In the 2017/18 all-electric racing competition, Oliver clinched Pole Position again in Mexico and was presented with his first FIA Formula E Championship trophy on the second step of the podium.

“I am delighted to be continuing with NIO 333 in Formula E, and to continue our journey together having been with the team since the first season. It’s fantastic to have the whole team together at the new facility in Silverstone. Everyone has worked extremely hard, from management taking the steps to move the team forwards, the engineers on development testing, and the mechanics with the preparation of the cars. Although we know the standard in Formula E is very high, I feel we have taken some positive steps forwards and I can’t wait to get out on track in the official test next week in Valencia.”

Adam Carroll will be making his NIO 333 Formula E Team public testing debut in Valencia. With Dan Ticktum flying out to the penultimate round of this year’s FIA Formula 2 on Tuesday evening, Adam will be taking to the track in the #33 NIO 333 001 on Thursday 2 December.

“It’s great to be continuing with the team who have been working so hard since the last race in Berlin. The new facilities at Silverstone are very impressive and everything is going in a positive direction. Our focus has been building on the progress made in Season 7 and carrying that momentum on into the coming season. I’m really looking forward to kicking off Season 8 and driving the NIO 333 Formula E car at the test in Valencia next week.”

Vincent Wang, CEO NIO 333 Formula E Team

“Ahead of the 8th season of the FIA Formula E World Championship I am excited to see our new driver line up and invigorated team in our new base just outside the Silverstone Circuit. We have been working hard these past few months and are prepared to earn points and get back on to the podium.

Let's warmly welcome Daniel Ticktum as our newest member of the NIO 333 Formula E family. His race results that impress me the most are the two victories in the Macau Grand Prix, one of the most famous races in the world. Though he has shouldered some difficulties during his career, I believe that his experience will pave the way to success. He is a young, bright new star who will shine on the Formula E racetrack.

There is no doubt that Oliver is an important member of the team. He has contributed many wonderful moments and Formula E fans have told me that Oliver has been tightly bound with the ‘soul of the team’. It is hoped that our two race drivers will work closely together to achieve breakthrough performances for the NIO 333 Formula E Team in the season ahead.”

Following next week’s official all-teams test at Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, Spain, round 1 of the eighth season of the FIA Formula E World Championship will get underway in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, with a double-header event on 28^th/29^th January 2022.
