Formula E potentially set to return to China using Shanghai’s F1 circuit
It has been reported that Shanghai is potentially joining the Formula E calendar with a shortened layout of the Shanghai International Circuit. This would make it the second purpose-built circuit on the calendar, alongside the Portland International Raceway. Cape Town’s return for a second season is looking unlikely, despite its successful inaugural race in season nine. The financial success of the Cape Town E-Prix is rumored to be the reason for its uncertain future. Formula E Operations is working hard to make an E-Prix in India happen next season, with Hyderabad being considered as a potential venue. If Hyderabad and Cape Town do not happen, there could be a seven-week break between Diriyah and São Paulo on the calendar. Shanghai taking the May 25 slot would be a relief for Formula E as it aims to increase its market in Asia. Formula E and Formula 1 would both visit the Shanghai International Circuit, with F1 returning for the first time since 2019.
