Ticktum shares early verdict on Fortescue Zero Racing

Dan Ticktum has given his early verdict on Fortescue Zero Racing's operations as the team prepares for Formula E pre-season testing at Jarama next week. Ticktum was announced by the team as a significant signing in its inaugural season, after leaving Cupra Kiro at the end of Season 12.

Ticktum said the opportunity began with a conversation with team principal Gary Ekerold around three months earlier, during a MotoGP weekend, where he was able to speak freely about his career. He said that conversation led to an offer, and that he has felt strong support from the team since.

Having spent a month with the team, Ticktum praised the level of professionalism across the operation, pointing to the factory as an example.
