Mꦏoroccan youngster 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 Marrakes🔯h tests.

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

“I have a lot of sim days to complete over the season. Thꦿat’s really my main ▨goal for this season,” Benyahia said.

“Hopefully next season I’ll be able to be a full-time dr꧑iver for V🌄enturi. I’ll see what happens.

“B﷽ut this year I♏’ll be mainly doing simulator 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 Formula E race.
