Gunther joined the Dragon Racing team as a test and backup pilot, he participated in the rookie tests in Marrakesh in 2018 and in the pre-season tests before the start of the fifth season . After the transition of Jerome D'Ambrosio to the team of Mahindra Racing [4] , Gunther got the place of one of the combat pilots of the team. He made his debut at ePri Ed Diriyah in December 2018.

He finished fifteenth, but behind him were former Formula 1 pilots Stoffel Vandorn and Felippe Massa , who also made their Formula E debut. After spending only three races in the Geox Dragon, Gunther's place was transferred to the Brazilian racer Felipe Nasru , who had previously played in Formula 1, after which Max himself became the reserve pilot of the team [6] .
