Ferrari junior Dino Beganovic set to complete rookie test outing with Mahindra Formula E outfit

Mahindra Racing has announced that Ferrari's junior driver Dino Beganovic will participate in the upcoming ABB FIA Formula E World Championship Rookie Test in Berlin that will take place a day after the double-header in Berlin.

Dino Beganovic currently competes in the Formula 2 championship. The Sweidish The 21-year-old is one of the standout names on the FIA’s single-seater pathway for emerging talent in recent seasons, as a race winner and championship contender through his stints in Formula 4, Formula Regional and FIA Formula 3.

Beganovic currently competes in FIA Formula 2, where he has widely impressed in his first full-season campaign, with podium finishes in Bahrain and Imola. He will complete a full day’s running alongside fellow F2 talent Kush Maini in the Mahindra M11Electro around Berlin’s Tempelhof Street Circuit, in what will be his first outing in a Formula E car.

The Rookie Test is an annual event, designed to bring together the next generation of Formula E stars for an opportunity to gain valuable experience, hone their craft and impress with a view to future opportunities in the FIA’s all-electric racing series.

Speaking on the news, Dino Beganovic said: “I’m looking forward to the opportunity to drive for Mahindra Racing at the Berlin Rookie Test, and to try a Formula E car for the first time.

“It’s a great opportunity to get experience and also contribute to the team’s development. I’ve been impressed with everything I’ve seen so far, it’s obvious why this is one of the front-running teams in the championship.”

Mahindra Racing CEO & Team Principal, Frederic Bertrand, added: “When analysing our options for the Rookie Test in Berlin, Dino quickly emerged as a front-runner for one of the seats.

“It’s a great opportunity for him to sample what Formula E is all about, and we’re all very excited to work together with him to make the most of it.”
