Adam Carroll has replaced Antonio Felix Da Costa for the German round of the championship, as Da Costa honours his DTM commitments.

Formula E Zone brought you news back in March that the Northern Irish racer will join the Japanese team in Berlin and make his Formula E debut.

Earlier in the year, Da Costa announced that he would miss the Berlin eprix due to a clash with the Austrian round of the DTM championship in Spielberg.

It is believed that Carroll signed a deal to replace Da Costa after the Buenos Aires eprix, where the 33-year old was Mahindra’s reserve driver in case Nick Heidfeld was unable to drive due to his hand injury.

The deal has yet to be officially announced, but Carroll’s name is currently on the Fanboost leaderboard, but confirmation of his drive is expected soon.

Carroll currently races in the Blancpain Endurance series for Gulf racing, but the Northern Irish driver competed in A1 Grand Prix championship for Ireland and won the 2008/2009 Championship.

Last season, Carroll competed in the British GT Championship driving the Ferrari 458 Italia. He took part in four races and finished the season 12th in the standings and picked up one podium finish.
