Both Porsche 99X Electric are at the Seoul E-Prix in a new exclusive design.

The sports car manufacturer and the Swiss luxury watch brand have been linked as global partners since 2021, and TAG Heuer has been the team's title partner since 2019. In the drivers' standings of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, Pascal Wehrlein is tenth with 71 points going into the final race of the season. André Lotterer is in twelfth place with 63 points. The TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team is sixth in the team classification with 134 points.
The race 15
After a strong qualifying, Pascal Wehrlein started the penultimate race of the season from P4 on the Seoul Street Circuit. However, he did not get off to a good start with his Porsche 99X Electric and lost four positions. After that, he drove a solid race on the 2.618-kilometer track, which runs partly through the 1988 Olympic Stadium, and secured safe points in seventh place. For André Lotterer, who started from P20, the race ended on the first lap. As one of eight drivers, he went straight into the boundary at turn 20 on what was then an extremely wet track. His car was so badly damaged that he was unable to start again after a long break in the race.
