Moroccan 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 Renaꦿult 2.0 NEC title, has worked with the Venturi team since September in a dev𒁃elopment role, enjoying run-outs in the Valencia and Marrakesh tests.

Benyahia was present thr🅠oughout the Marrakesh E-Prix weekend in his home country, and while he is fo🌠cused on his development duties for Venturi through Season Four, he hopes to be in contention for a full-time seat in the future.

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

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

“But this year I’ll be mainly doing simulator w🧸ork.”

Benyahia confirmed he was unlikely to pursue another rꦜacing programme in 2018 in order to focus on his Venturi commitments, which wi🌠ll see him be on-site for the team at each Formula E race.
