These locations were chosen not just for their global appeal—but also for their commitment to clean energy and urban innovation.

City Streets Become Race Tracks

Unlike traditional racing, Formula E takes to the heart of the city, using public roads as tracks. This strategy brings racing closer to fans and highlights the series’ mission to showcase electric mobility in real-world settings.

Each event is a one-day spectacle, packed with:

  • Practice rounds
  • Qualifying sessions
  • An intense all-electric race

This compact format keeps the energy high and the environmental impact low.

A Platform for Innovation

Formula E isn’t just a race—it’s a proving ground for electric vehicle technology. The championship pushes manufacturers to develop more efficient batteries, motors, and drivetrains. Over time, these breakthroughs are expected to influence consumer EVs around the world.

Promoting a Cleaner Future

With support from major automotive and tech brands, Formula E is more than a sport. It’s a movement. One that promotes sustainable transport, smart cities, and a low-emissions future.

By racing in the streets of major urban centers, Formula E raises awareness of air pollution, noise, and the need for electric solutions.

What’s Next?

The full driver and team lineup is expected soon, as anticipation builds toward the season opener in Beijing. Formula E is ready to prove that high-speed racing and high-impact sustainability can go hand in hand.
