Could Ryan Hunter-Reay drive in Formula E?

January 25, 2014

formula_eFormer IndyCar champion Ryan Hunter-Reay is a busy man this year trying to grab his second IndyCar title and squeeze in as many TUDOR United SportsCar Championship races as he can for the SRT Viper team.

Hunter-Reay is teamed this weekend with Dominik Farnbacher and Mark Goosens at the Rolex 24 at Daytona but there is certainly potential to drive a significantly quieter race car in the future.

“Formula E certainly has a lot of momentum behind it at the moment but I just don’t know enough about it yet,” Hunter-Reay said.

“Michael asked me whether I would like to drive and I say sure, absolutely! I’d love to give it a go.

“As long as its stretching to get back for an IndyCar race because that is my priority but Formula E is something that I am very interested in.

“Hopefully the series takes off because Andretti has a team in it.”

After the nine hour mark tonight, Hunter-Reay’s SRT Viper Rolex 24 at Daytona assault suffered a set-back when his team was forced to return to the garages to fix a power steering issue.”
