He knows the series with all its challenges inside out. The same goes for Marc, whom we have known well for a long time and who fits in perfectly to the squad. Both will play central roles in our team with their experience and skills.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fred Espinos, who will be working mainly from Kempten from now on, felt at home from the first moment. \u201cYou can immediately sense the successful history at ABT and with what passion motorsport is lived by everyone. Everyone puts their heart and soul into their work,\u201d says Espinos. \u201cFor me, the start of a new Formula E era is the perfect time for this new challenge. I\u2019ve been warmly welcomed and am delighted to now be able to join in the excitement and fight for success as part of a racing team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marc Wewel has been a member of the ABT Motorsport family since the beginning of July. Exciting months lie behind him. \u201cI was one of the first new employees after the comeback was announced. That\u2019s why the first thing was to build and form a strong team,\u201d says Wewel, who was previously with Audi in the LMP and Formula E projects. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of fun to work with this small but agile and decisive squad at ABT. We still have a long to-do list ahead of us before we go to the official testing and then the first race, but you can feel the anticipation growing in everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABT\u2019s team for the company\u2019s Formula E comeback is coming together: These days, the latest addition, Frederic Espinos, is experiencing his first working days at the Kempten Motorsport Center \u2013 he is the new Sporting Director at ABT and responsible for all sporting matters of the team in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/?p=4512\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;ABT team for Formula E comeback is coming together&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4512"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4512"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4512\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4514,"href":"https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4512\/revisions\/4514"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
