Dan Ticktum takes a 1965 first-generation Mustang through the streets of France, shares his honest review

Cupra Kiro driver Dan Ticktum has been indulging his passion for classic cars during the month-long break following the Monaco E-Prix. The Formula E star recently took a first-generation 1965 Mustang convertible for a drive through the streets of a French village and appeared thoroughly impressed by its performance. Alongside reviewing the vintage car, he also reflected on his Formula E campaign so far.

Dan Ticktum drives a 1965 first-generation Mustang

Dan Ticktum heads into the break after securing back-to-back pole positions in Monaco, although he was unable to convert either into a points finish. The Cupra Kiro driver shared a video of his Mustang experience on YouTube, writing: "In today's episode of driving a car specific to the country I'm in, I drove a 1965 GEN 1 Mustang along the beautiful French Riviera and reviewed it. No, it isn't specific to France, but it's certainly a lovely car to drive."





As he cruised through the roads of southern France, Ticktum praised the car, saying: "Fantastic steering wheel – it's probably my favourite bit. So yeah, let's see what it's all about. Let's see why they sold 22,000 on day one and nearly three million worldwide in about seven years."



While dealing with sunburn in the open-top car, Ticktum also discussed the upcoming Formula E Gen4 machine, how the Gen3 car was reportedly inspired by the F-117 Nighthawk, and several other motorsport topics.

Dan Ticktum reflects on his Formula E season

Dan Ticktum also spoke candidly about his season so far and the points he believes slipped away in the opening rounds.
He said, "We don't have a huge amount of races left. Yes, there's still a good portion of the season remaining, but starting with three scoreless races was unideal, to say the least."

He continued, "From where I qualified second and sixth, and if I hadn't had the bad set of tyres in Miami, I'm sure I would've been right up there. You could argue I've dropped 30-odd points or whatever it is, so I've got it all to do for the rest of the year.”

He further said, "I think I've been fastest in practice at all but one of the venues we've been to, so my performance engineer Jack and the rest of the guys have done a fantastic job of making the car quick. Unfortunately, as some of my complaints have highlighted, it's not always enough to be fast. There are too many variables in the race and too much energy management involved, but some of the races have been quite entertaining."
