The Moscow ePrix will take place on a 13-turn street circuit adjacent to the Kremlin and will be held ahead of the June 27 season finale in London.
“We are delighted to be welcoming Moscow onto the 2014-2015 Formula E calendar as our 10th host city,” said Alejandro Agag, CEO of Formula E. “Russian people have always welcomed with passion and enthusiasm international events, and we are sure it will be the same with the Moscow ePrix.
Russia’s automotive market is steadily growing, as is its electric vehicle industry, and I am confident that Formula E will help to promote the concept of sustainable mobility in this country. As with our previous races, we have no doubt the Moscow ePrix is going to be a fantastic spectacle for teams, drivers and fans.”
ganisers of the FIA Formula E Championship have today announced that the date of the 2015 Formula E Berlin ePrix (Round 8) is to move forward by one week. The race will now take place on May 23 2015.
The decision has been taken to allow more time between races following the introduction of the new 10th host city – the Moscow ePrix (Round 9) – to the inaugural calendar, set for June 6 2015. As such, there will now be a two-week gap between the Berlin and Moscow races rather than the previous seven days.
The Berlin ePrix takes place on a custom-made circuit within the ‘Apron’ section of the former Tempelhof Airport. Further details, including tickets prices and the specific circuit layout, are due to be announced towards the end of February.
The next Formula E race is set for March 14 in Miami with the remaining six rounds taking place in Miami, Long Beach, Monaco, Berlin, Moscow and London.
