António Félix da Costa came from 11th on the grid to snatch victory in a thrilling 2023 Cape Town E-Prix in what was the first World Championship event to be held in South Africa since 1993. Set in the Green Point area of the city in the shadow of Table Mountain, this fast temporary circuit included a start and pitlane in parkland next to Cape Town Stadium before the Formula E field accelerated through the flowing Beach Road section. The event sold out and popular with the drivers but it was not repeated. The area has been considered as venue for South Africa’s return to the Formula 1 World Championship but that possibility seems to be rescinding.
