Envision Racing goes green for Season 8 of Formula E

British Formula E outfit Envision Racing unveiled its Season 8 new livery at the most appropriate of venues: the COP 26 conference on climate change that is currently underway in Glasgow.

The striking bold green and blue scheme which obviously hints at our planet's prime colors will support Envision Racing's 'Race Against Climate Change' campaign during Formula E's 2021/22 season.

The new livery will enjoy its first outing under the lights in the season-opening double headers in Diriyah on 28 and 29 January 2022, with Robin Frijns and Nick Cassidy behind the wheel of the gleaming all-electric charger.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
