Mexico city next stop for DS Virgin Racing
After one of their strongest starts to a Formula E season, #dsvirginracing are once again in action as they continue their Latin America tour with the Mexico City E-Prix on March 3.
Held at the famous Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez circuit in the Mexico capital, the team's all-British driving pairing of #sambird and #alexlynn will be aiming high - quite literally - at the 2.092km circuit with it being the highest on the calendar at 2,285m (7,500ft) above sea level. They'll also be hitting speeds of up to 210kph as they tackle the 17-turn track over 47 laps.
Bird, who finished third during last year's race, will be hoping to replicate this and continue his strongest ever start to a season where he currently lies in third place in the drivers' standings. Meanwhile, team-mate Lynn will be hoping to bounce back from last month's race in Santiago where mechanical issues forced him to retire - ending his run of scoring points in every race to date. As for the teams' championship, #dsvirginracing currently occupy third spot in the closely fought battle.
This year also marks the third running of event and will have a special significance with Formula E donating all profits from the race to the post-earthquake reconstruction efforts in Mexico City. In addition, the DSV-03 together with all Formula E cars will be sporting the hashtag #FuerzaMexico in support.
