Silverstone is likely to become a Formula E venue in the future. Here’s why – and what it means for the series’ identity
Silverstone is likely to become a future Formula E venue as talks between Formula E and Silverstone have intensified recently, potentially hosting the first E-Prix in April. The home of the British Grand Prix could replace the current London ExCeL Arena, where Formula E has been racing since 2021. ExCeL’s limited space for circuit expansion is a key reason for the potential move. Formula E is considering a mix of city center venues like Tokyo and potential races in Los Angeles, along with permanent or modified facilities like Mexico City, Misano, and Shanghai, in preparation for the Gen4 era with faster cars. Despite the positive aspects of the London ExCeL track, Formula E is exploring options at venues like Silverstone for future races to enhance the racing experience and accommodate the evolving requirements of the series.
