Moroccan youngsteඣr Michael Benyahia has set his sights on claiming a full-time Formula E seat with the Venturi team for the electric championship’s fifth season.

Benyahia, 17, won last year’s Formula Renault🐷 2.0 NEC title, has worked with the Venturi team since September in a development role, enjoying run-outs in the Valencia and Marrakesh tests.

Benyahia was present throughout the Marra🎃kesh E-Prix weekend in his home country, and while he is focused on his development duties forꩵ Venturi through Season Four, he hopes to be in contention for a full-time seat in the future.

“𒉰I have a lot of sim days to comple🅷te over the season. That’s really my main goal for this season,” Benyahia said.

“Hopefully next season I🐬’ll be able to be a full-time driver for Venturi. I’ll see what happens.

“But this year I’ll be mainly doing 𝄹siꦿmulator work.”

Benyahia confirmed he was unlikely to pursue another racing programme in 2018 in order to focus on his ♔Venturi commitments, which will see him be on-site for the team at each Fo🎐rmula E race.
