Lisbon stopped to receive António Félix da Costa. The Portuguese driver, Formula E champion 2019/2020, drove his DS E-TENSE FE20 through the streets of Lisbon, covering a total route of 20 km, which, similarly to the realities experienced in competition, took place in the heart of the city.
The acceleration and skidding of the DS E-Tense FE 20, the 100% electric single-seater driven by the Portuguese driver through the main arteries of the capital, were the high point of this celebration around a victory with a Portuguese accent, but also the bet of DS in this championship which continues to add up to fans.
All over the city, many people stopped to watch António Félix da Costa pass by.
Starting at 10 am on Saturday, the route of about 20 kilometers took the DS E-Tense FE 20 through several prime areas of the city, departing from Museu dos Coches (Belém), passing by Avenida 24 de Julho, Praça do Commerce, Rua da Prata, Rossio, Restauradores, Avenida da Liberdade and Rotunda Marquês de Pombal, returning to the Museu dos Coches, taking the opposite route.
