In an exclusive interview, Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds informed RacingNews365 that an increase in the number of races in the United States is possibly on the horizon.
Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds mentioned the possibility of having races in two cities in the United States from Season 12 (2026). For the upcoming season, Formula E has shifted its US race to Homestead-Miami Speedway after two seasons in Portland, marking the return to Miami since 2015. The importance of a strong presence in the US and China, major players in global EV sales, is emphasized. Dodds contemplates whether having a consistent US race host annually, like Berlin, would be beneficial but expresses concerns about potential venue fatigue and limited fan attraction due to travel logistics. The US stands out for its numerous potential race host cities compared to the UK, where London is the top choice. Dodds states that the US could accommodate Formula E races in about 20 different cities, each offering unique experiences and markets. The variety of interested American cities with diverse fan bases highlights the need for multiple races in the US to expand the series’ popularity and reach.
