As Formula E gets ready for its second consecutive year of racing in Tokyo, the electric championship is eager to race in the Japanese capital at night to enhance the spectacle.
The success of the inaugural Tokyo E-Prix last year has led to the race returning to the Season 11 calendar as a double-header, showcasing Formula E’s ability to build strong relationships with new host cities.
Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds is interested in transforming the Tokyo race into a nighttime event, planning to secure its place in future seasons.
Dodds sees Tokyo as a key part of Formula E’s strategy to race in iconic cities worldwide, alongside other major destinations like Mexico City, London, and Monaco.
Organizing a night race in Tokyo would require well-lit circuits, but Dodds believes it would be a fantastic addition to the calendar, adding a unique spectacle to the championship.
With potential new locations like Spain, Brands Hatch, and Silverstone being considered, Formula E is continuously looking to expand its footprint and offer fans exciting racing experiences.
