Tokyo Turns up the Voltage as Andretti Formula E Returns for Doubleheader
After a strong Season 10 debut in the Japanese capital, complete with a podium finish from Season 9 World Champion Jake Dennis, Andretti Formula E is heading back to Tokyo for the 2025 Tokyo E-Prix doubleheader weekend, marking the first time the ABB Formula E World Championship event will unfold across two days. The 2.5 km street circuit will wrap around Tokyo Big Sight, delivering a thrilling combination of long straights, tight technical sections and sharp elevation changes against the backdrop of Tokyo Bay. With valuable Championship points up for grabs and momentum building after a podium and strong points haul at the Monaco E-Prix, Andretti Formula E will fight for the top step of the podium in both races in Japan.

Notes
Tokyo E-Prix
- Following years of anticipation, Tokyo became the first city in Japan to host a Formula E race when it joined the calendar in Season 10.
- The E-Prix takes place in the Ariake district on the waterfront of Tokyo Bay, a hub of innovation and one of the most modern areas of the capital.
- Tokyo Big Sight, Japan’s largest convention and exhibition center, provides the unique backdrop for the circuit and fan areas.
- The 2025 edition of the Tokyo E-Prix will see the return of PIT BOOST, becoming the third ever race to feature the additional mandatory mid-race fast charge, adding an extra layer of strategy to the weekend.
- Tokyo’s compact layout and dramatic elevation shifts make it one of the most technically demanding street circuits on the Formula E calendar.
- This weekend’s race will mark the first time the GEN3 Evo competes in Tokyo, bringing enhanced acceleration and all-wheel drive in qualifying, race starts and Attack Mode.
Andretti Formula E
- Before Monaco, the last time both Andretti Formula E drivers finished in the top six was at the Tokyo E-Prix in Season 10.
- In Tokyo last season, both Dennis and Mueller out-qualified and out-raced their teammates, and it was the only race where they both reached the same Duels session.
- With partner NAGASE Group headquartered in Tokyo, the 2025 Tokyo E-Prix doubleheader will serve as a home race for the team’s long-standing partner.
Jake Dennis
- In the first visit to Tokyo last season, Dennis claimed a third-place finish, which was the Brits’ only third-place finish of Season 10.
- Dennis’ Tokyo podium marked the start of a three-race podium streak – the fourth such run of his Formula E career – and contributed to his tally of eight podiums in Asia, a total only Lucas di Grassi has exceeded on the continent.
- The No. 27 driver has five Fastest Laps in Asia, more than any other Formula E driver.
- After the Brit’s podium finish in Monaco, Dennis now sits seventh overall for Formula E podiums with 22 visits to the top three steps.
Nico Mueller
- Mueller enjoyed his most consistent qualifying run in Formula E last season, reaching the Duels four times in a row in a streak that included a strong showing in Tokyo, qualifying eighth.
- Last season’s Tokyo E-Prix saw the Swiss driver score his first points of Season 10.
- Tokyo will host Rounds 8 and 9 of Season 11, and despite this being Mueller’s fifth Formula E campaign, he’s only contested the ninth race of the season twice before.
- Muller’s most recent visit to Japan was in the World Endurance Championship, in which he claimed a fourth-place finish last year at the 6 Hours of Fuji.

Team Quotes
Jake Dennis
No. 27 Andretti Porsche 99X Electric
“Getting the first podium of the season is always a special one, especially to do it in Monaco. It fills me with great confidence going into this Asia stretch, where it’s a very busy month. Ultimately, we want to try and continue with this momentum. We’ve had a quick car at Monaco and Miami, so I’m generally feeling good heading into Tokyo. The result we had last year in Tokyo was great, and this year we’re hunting for the same result. Hopefully, we can continue our strong qualifying form and start at the front, because overtaking will be extremely difficult.
With three race weekends in Asia coming up, I’m approaching them like I always do: calm, collected and making sure I do my homework. The team and I will be aiming to hit the ground running on all of these events because you can’t afford to be on the back foot heading into this intense stretch of the season.”
Nico Mueller
No. 51 Andretti Porsche 99X Electric
“We were very unfortunate to have a huge opportunity taken away from us out of our control in Monaco. We executed that race perfectly, and the team deserved that one. But there’s no point in looking back too much – we take the positives, look at what we can improve and move on. There’s very limited time now between races, so it’s important to switch the focus to getting straight back into analyzing and improving our preparation and performance for the upcoming stretch. We want to hit the ground running, and with good momentum on our side heading into Tokyo, we’ll be aiming for some strong results.
Tokyo is a very technical circuit; perhaps one of the tightest and twisting tracks on the calendar, together with London. It has some of the old school Formula E track characteristics, with it being a non-permanent track and the flowing corner combinations. It presents a different kind of challenge compared to the last few races, but one I’m really looking forward to. The track is great, it’s awesome to be racing in Tokyo, and the fans are some of the best.”
Roger Griffiths
Team Principal
“Following a successful points haul for the Andretti Formula E team in Monaco, continuing to perform at a high level will be crucial, particularly in our preparation. Over the last couple of races, we’ve seen a return to a much stronger qualifying performance thanks to the hard work of our engineering team. This will be key to a successful weekend in Tokyo and will give both Jake and Nico an added boost of confidence.
Certainly, the Andretti Formula E team’s pace displayed last year in Tokyo is encouraging, but the competition has also been improving so we need to be on top form. Anyone that comes away from the Asia leg of the season with a good haul of points will be suitably set up for the final run into the end of the Championship. Tokyo marks the halfway point in Season 11, and everyone will want to maximize point scoring opportunities. Asia is a key market for both Formula E and Andretti, especially with the team’s NAGASE Group partnership, and with passionate motorsport fans across the region, we’re aiming to put on a great show.”
