In his new role, Gass will assist with the development of the Gen4 regulations - planned for the 2026-27 season once the Gen3 package has completed its four-year cycle.
Formerly chief engineer at the Toyota F1 team, Gass joined Lotus in 2010 before moving to Audi two years later, subsequently becoming its head of motorsport in 2017. He was named as Jota's new team principal for its customer Porsche LMDh programme last month and will dovetail that role with his Formula E work.
