NEW YORK, New York – Nissan's countdown to its debut in the Formula E electric street racing championship is now officially underway after the checkered flag was waved in the final round of the Season 4 championship in New York on Sunday. Nissan will join the series for Season 5 which kicks off in December.

The EV road car is the first from a Japanese brand to join the championship and will race in 12 different venues around the world in 2018 and 2019.

As part of Nissan's Formula E countdown, the brand gave local media a preview of its plans in Brooklyn, New York on Friday before the New York ePrix.

The Nissan Formula E car was joined by the second-generation Nissan LEAF. Global Motorsport Director Michael Carcamo and Nissan North America's EV Sales and Marketing Director, Brian Maragno also attended the media event.

"Season 5 for Nissan has now officially begun," Carcamo said. "Our goal is to be as best prepared as we can be and we've been laying the groundwork for quite some time. As part of our preparations for our Season 5 debut, I've been on site at each race this season to take a close look at the championship and our competitors.

Carcamo said Nissan plans to use its EV expertise to ensure the team hits energy management targets on the track.
