Kiro Race Co. has finalized its Formula E driver lineup for the upcoming season, signing Dan Ticktum and David Beckmann. The announcement comes just days before the season opener in Sao Paulo.

Both drivers showed promising performance during pre-season testing in Spain, with Ticktum and Beckmann finishing second and fourth quickest overall, completing 421 combined laps at Jarama.

Team principal Alex Hui emphasizes Kiro's ambition to become consistent top-10 contenders. Ticktum brings three seasons of Formula E experience from NIO and ERT, with nine points finishes in 48 starts. Beckmann, though a rookie in full-time competition, brings valuable experience as a former reserve driver for Andretti and Porsche, including two race starts in the 2022-23 season.

"It's clear to me that Kiro Race Co is hungry, ambitious, and ready to make a statement in Formula E," says Ticktum, expressing confidence in the team's potential for regular top-10 performances.

Beckmann adds, "Although I'll be a rookie this year, I'm coming into the season with unique experience having seen the evolution from GEN2 to GEN3, and again with the GEN3 Evo."

Kiro will compete as a Porsche customer team, utilizing the German manufacturer's previous season technology. The team's Formula E journey begins this Saturday at the Sao Paulo E-Prix.
