The FIA WMSC, which met today in Mexico City, has approved the calendar for the second season of the FIA Formula E Championship. It is made up of 11 races, hosted in 10 cities, with London exceptionally hosting two races, as was the case in the inaugural season.
The second edition of the FIA series for single-seaters powered completely by electricity will
get underway on Saturday October 17th this year in Beijing and will end in London, having
travelled to at least nine different countries on three continents. Compared to last season, the
main novelty is the appearance on the calendar of the Paris ePrix on April 23rd, which will take
place on a circuit built up around the architectural complex of Les Invalides. The venue for the
fifth round is still to be decided, while the absence of the Monaco ePrix is due to an alternation
of dates with the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, which takes place only on even-numbered
years.
