Nathanaël Berthon will join Team Aguri for the second season of the FIA Formula E Championship, completing the outfit's's line up alongside Antonio Felix da Costa. Berthon makes his Formula E debut in the first race of the season, the Beijing ePrix, on Saturday October 24.

26-year old Berthon, from Romagnat in France, packs a wealth of experience despite his youth. His single-seater career has included race victories in two of the world's most competitive series, Formula Renault 3.5 and GP2, where he has shown great pace. That knowledge base has been further expanded in 2015 by combining his GP2 campaign with a first full season of sportscar racing in the European Le Mans Series.

The Frenchman sampled his first taste of Team Aguri's all-electric power at Donington Park in August 2015 during official Formula E testing. He completed two days of running with the Japanese entrant, impressing with his ability to quickly adapt to the unique challenges of the Spark-Renault SRT_01E.

Berthon's race engineer will be Dan Cox, who moves into his second year with Team Aguri. Cox engineered Salvador Duran during the inaugural Formula E season, and previously worked as an aerodynamicist for Lola.

Nathanaël Berthon:

"I am really looking forward to racing with Team Aguri in the second season of Formula E. For me, it is a fantastic new challenge and I think we can look forward to a very good season with the proven package that Aguri has worked on improving during the off-season. I am really thankful to Aguri [Suzuki], Mark [Preston] and the whole team for giving me the chance to show what I could bring to the team at Donington Park during testing last month. The attitude and mentality of the outfit very much matches mine, and this was clear from the very start. Formula E is all about being a complete driver and tests you technically - that really appeals to me, because with my experience in many disciplines I have a lot to call upon when it comes to strategies and efficiency."

Mark Preston, Team Principal:

"Nathanaël is an exciting new driver in Formula E who impressed us in pre-season testing and has already begun to work closely with the team in preparation for the first races. It's going to be a strong partnership that will be crucial in delivering a fast and reliable package at the first races in Asia and throughout the season. His experience across several categories will come in very useful in Formula E."
