At 29 years of age and completing 7 seasons in Formula E, Antonio Felix da Costa’s commitment to sustainability seems to be growing at a rapid pace because the Portuguese driver has joined the new simracing championship, the RCCO World eX Championship.
Still in the middle of his seventh season in the maximum electric single-seater tournament, da Costa will participate as a wild card entry in the #RacingForTheClimate cause created by World eX, which will have action for the first time on March 11.
“I really like the concept, and this should be a lot of fun to take part in. At the same, he added that he will do his best to compete in as many World eX races as the schedule allows”.
On the other hand, the CEO and co-founder of RCCO E-Sport AG, Mike Rockenfeller, stated: “It is terrific to have the reigning Formula E champion joining us for our first race. I know him from our time racing against each other in the DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters). He is a great personality in any paddock and is very fast on track.”
“Felix is already a champion in real-world electric motorsport, so let’s see what level he will reach with the 1,000 eX ZERO in the virtual world,”.
