In this, Formula E anticipates Formula 1. From today it is certain that the electric championship in the next season, Season 9, will run in South Africa. Strictly in the city as in all its other stages. The E-Prix will be in Cape Town on 25 February, therefore inserted as the fourth round and fifth race (after Mexico City, the double-header in Ad-Diriyah and after the debut in India in Hyderebad). Today came the approval of the FIA ​​World Motor Sport Council. Cape Town, therefore, together with the aforementioned Hyderabad, and San Paolo, Brazil, is one of the three novelties of Season 9 which will open in Mexico on January 14, 2023.

Nothing Seoul

And it’s not the only calendar update: from today it is official that Berlin will host a double race weekend, on April 22nd and 23rd, while the two previously announced races for Seoul have been removed from the calendar.

We are also actively discussing with more cities and places around the world to host an event on the other date without a confirmed location (June 24, ed)
