Formula E set to return in August 2020

The FIA Formula E World Championship will resume in Berlin after Coronavirus postponement.

Berlin’s Tempelhof Airport will hold the stage for not one, not two but six races which will conclude the championship to determine a winner.

The races will be held over ten days in three double headers.

Each double header will have a different track configuration however they haven’t been confirmed yet.

Previously, Formula E had already completed five races with DS Techeetah driver Antonio Felix da Costa holding on to the top spot.

Jaime Reigle, Chief Executive of Formula E, said “Since taking action to suspend our season in March, we have emphasised a revised calendar which places the health and safety of our community first, represents Formula E’s distinct brand of city centre racing and offers an exciting conclusion to the compelling season of racing we have seen so far.

“We’re heading to Berlin Tempelhof, a venue that our teams, drivers and fans love, to stage a nine-day festival of racing with three back-to-back doubleheaders.

“The festival will feature three track layouts, presenting a new challenge and creating the conditions for an unpredictable and drama-filled climax to our season.

“The team at Formula E has been working incredibly hard over the past weeks to enable us to go racing again in Berlin. I’d like to thank the FIA, our manufacturers, teams and partners for their continued support, the city of Berlin for their cooperation and flexibility and our fans for their patience.”

With just 11 points between da Costa and 2nd placed Mitch Evans, it’s all to race for come August 2020.
