Fred Bell, Vice President of Global Distribution for Molex adds: "We are all looking forward to this season of Formula E. The Gen2 car is a huge step forward in electric racing technology, and it will be exciting to see how it evolves the already popular sport. As proud supporters since the inception of Formula E, Mouser and Molex wish the GEOX DRAGON team a very safe and successful season on the road."

Eric Pratt, AVX's Senior Vice President of Marketing says: "At AVX, we are thrilled to be partner with Mouser, Molex, and TTI to support this incredible racing technology."

To further support the Geox Dragon drivers, fans are encouraged vote for their favourite driver in Fanboost, which allows fans to play an active role in influencing the outcome of the race. Fanboost gives fans the opportunity to vote for their favourite driver and award them an extra boost of power during the race. The five drivers with the most Fanboost votes are awarded a significant burst of power, which they can deploy in a 5-second window during the second half of the race. Fanboost voting for the Mexico City E-Prix opens February 11 and is available all the way up to 15 minutes into the race.

Next the series heads to Hong Kong on March 10, followed by Sanya, China, on March 23. To learn how to register for Fanboost and to see the full 2019 Formula E schedule, visit www.mouser.com/formula-e.
