TTI, Molex and Panasonic Join in Sponsorship of High-Tech Sport

The Mouser Electronics-sponsored Faraday Future Dragon Racing team will take to the streets of Brooklyn in the New York City ePrix on July 15–16. The race will be the first FIA-sanctioned motor sports event to take place in the city.

Drivers Loic Duval and Jerome D’Ambrosio will navigate a 1.21-mile track through the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn. The waterfront track will feature views of the iconic Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty.

“Duval and D’Ambrosio are talented drivers with a strong team backing them,” said Todd McAtee, Vice President, Americas Business Development for Mouser Electronics. “We are proud to support this exciting new technology as a sponsor alongside TTI, Molex, and Panasonic. Best of luck to the team as they head to New York for this historic race.”
