Trulli GP (officially Trulli Formula E Team) was a Swiss motor racing team founded by former Formula One driver and Monaco Grand Prix winner Jarno Trulli to compete in the inaugural FIA Formula E Championship for electric cars. The team competed in a technical partnership with Drayson Racing Technologies. It was announced on 1 July 2014 that the team was operating with Super Nova Racing.[1] Italian Auto GP driver Michela Cerruti was later announced as the second driver for the team.[2]

Role changes

For the Miami ePrix, Jarno Trulli and Vitantonio Liuzzi became teammates in the lineup. Trulli commented that it was his past driving history that allowed the Trulli Formula E team to even happen in the first place – four months before the first race of the season in China, as a last minute replacement for Drayson's entry on the grid.[3]

Being the driver was the key to launch the team at the beginning, given my experience and helping set up everything around what is a formula team. I've learned many things. It's a good challenge. I hope we will be successful. But it's quite a big commitment to be honest. It's tougher than expected. But it's good to have a team. In my position, I feel more a team owner than a driver. I'm really focusing on the future of the team.

— Jarno Trulli, MotorSportsTalk

For the 2015–16 Formula E season, it was announced that Trulli would step back from the racing side of the team, with Salvador Durán partnering Liuzzi.
