After a successful foray into Japan last year, Formula E returns to the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’ for the second edition of the Tokyo E-Prix. Here’s everything you need to know about this weekend’s races.
“Formula E made history with the first major street race in Japan last year, a milestone achieved after nearly a decade of effort.
While Japan is known for circuit racing at tracks like Suzuka and Motegi, Tokyo lacked a close metropolitan race until Formula E’s Tokyo E-Prix.
Building a niche amidst major motorsport events in Japan, Formula E is set for a double-header on the Tokyo Street Circuit in 2025.
Taking place on the man-made Odaiba island, the circuit offers a unique backdrop in Tokyo’s popular tourist destination.
Featuring a tight layout with limited overtaking opportunities, the Tokyo track challenges drivers with a mix of technical sections and high-speed straights.
Pit Boost technology will add an extra strategic element during the double-header weekend, providing a fast charging option for drivers.
Overall, Formula E’s presence in Tokyo marks a significant step towards engaging fans in the world’s most populated metropolitan area.”
