Formula E has added a second batch of races to its 2020\/21 calendar that will include the first visit to a permanent race track in the series’ history.<\/p>\n

The first-ever Valencia E-Prix will take place at Circuit Ricardo Tormo<\/a> in April using a new configuration designed specifically for Formula E.<\/p>\n

The electric series has used the circuit in the past for pre-season testing, with testing for 2020\/21 taking place there during December last year.<\/p>\n

Along with the announcement of additional dates, Formula E confirmed it will not be visiting France for the Paris E-Prix due to health and safety concerns arising from Covid-19.<\/p>\n

Following the double-header in Saudi Arabia that will include the first Formula E night race, the series will head back to Europe for the Rome E-Prix at the beginning of April.<\/p>\n

The Valencia round will follow while Monaco will host its first motor sport event on the streets of the Principality since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

Formula E then heads to Morocco for the fifth race in Marrakesh before flying over to South America for back-to-back races in Chile and the Santiago E-Prix at the beginning of June.<\/p>\n

Originally scheduled races in Seoul and Sanya have not received new dates but were confirmed as still postponed rather than being cancelled outright. A decision on both events will be made later in Spring.<\/p>\n

Possible dates for the postponed London, New York, Berlin and Mexico City E-Prix were not mentioned.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are committed to delivering a global calendar that befits our first season as a World Championship,” Formula E CEO Jamie Reigle said.<\/p>\n

“We are working closely with all our partners across teams, manufacturers, sponsors, broadcasters and host cities to adapt to external circumstances and ensure the health and safety of everyone involved.<\/p>\n

“We will do so while maintaining what fans love most about Formula E: unpredictable racing, iconic locations and the blend of the real and virtual worlds, all underpinned by our race for better futures.”<\/p>\n
