Formula E unveils new Berlin E-Prix circuit layout
A new 15-turn, 2.585km circuit has been designed to improve racing for the faster, more powerful Gen3 cars in Formula E, with the race taking place at Tempelhof Airport in Berlin. This venue has been hosting the Berlin E-Prix since the inception of the championship in 2014, except for one race held at Karl-Marx Allee street circuit in the 2015-16 season. The Tempelhof circuit gained attention during the 2019-20 season when it hosted six races during the pandemic, with some changes made to the layout and the configuration run in reverse. The new circuit features two notable straight sections, with one at the start/finish and another at the end of the lap, along with two hairpins. These changes are subject to FIA approval, and the double-header race is scheduled for 11-12 May. The 2023-24 season will begin in Mexico City and conclude with a double-header in London’s ExCeL Arena after a 17-race season in 11 different locations.
