Ahead of the season 10 opener in Mexico City next January, Formula E announced the finalised calendar for the 2023/24
The next season of Formula E will consist of 17 races in 11 different cities, excluding Africa and Oceania. The Cape Town E-Prix has been removed from the calendar, even though it was one of the most exciting races of last season. Three new cities, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Misano, have been added to the schedule. Seven out of the 17 races will be held on purpose-built circuits, which is a significant increase compared to previous seasons. Shanghai will race at the Shanghai International Circuit, known for hosting Formula 1’s Chinese Grand Prix, while Misano will take place at the Circuit Marco Simoncelli, previously used for motorcycle Grand Prix racing. Both cities will host a double-header, along with Diriyah, Berlin, and London. Portland, which made its debut on the calendar this year, will also have a double-header in 2024 at the Portland International Raceway. The races on permanent circuits provide a unique spectacle but also raise concerns about limited energy recovery opportunities. Formula E is taking action to ensure safety, such as removing the Rome race from the calendar after a dangerous crash last season.
