Formula E confirms 2025 calendar with major omission

Formula E confirms 2025 calendar with major omission

The full season 11 calendar has been announced by FIA Formula E as the series prepares for winter testing next month ahead of the first race in Valencia.

The announcement confirmed another 16-race season, starting in November in Valencia and ending in July in London, with five double-headers spread throughout the year.

A seven-week gap between rounds four and five is due to an unconfirmed race in Thailand that ultimately disappeared from the calendar, with attempts to replace it coming to nothing.

Pascal Weirlien won the title in season ten, winning a dramatic Titanic battle in the final round in London against the two Jaguars, who took the Teams and Manufacturers title.

The famous Lola name returns to motorsport for the first time since 1997, joining ABT and Yamaha in the new era of electric racing.

A Formula E spokesperson said the sport was “excited” for the year ahead, highlighting the new markets of Miami and Tokyo as opportunities for further growth.

“We are excited to present the calendar of 16 Formula E races in Season 11 that was announced earlier this year – the same number that led to record-breaking growth in fan and broadcast numbers worldwide. Over 10 events we’ll be racing at several long-standing favorites, with upgrades to doubleheaders in some locations and some fantastic new locations in key markets.

“With the arrival of the new GEN3 Evo technology, which puts our drivers behind the wheel of the fastest cars ever to race in Formula E, we can’t wait to get the season started and couldn’t be more excited about the potential that the championship has to offer. sensation and attract new fans.

“Work is already underway to build and maintain engagement with fans throughout the season, and more details will be announced in the coming months.”
