Formula E is once again facing a two-month break in its schedule having not managed to replace its planned new race in Thailand. Why has it allowed this to happen again?
Formula E is once again on a forced two-month break in its schedule due to the inability to find a replacement for the planned 2025 race in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The date for the race was left as ‘to be confirmed’ on the calendar but is now set to be deleted from the final draft. The change in power in Thailand led to the cancellation of the Chiang Mai event, leaving Formula E with a gap between races in Jeddah and Homestead. Despite considering alternatives like Sanya in China, no replacement could be secured in time for the FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting. This disruption in the calendar is a recurring issue for Formula E, impacting its momentum both sportingly and commercially. The championship’s disjointed schedule poses challenges for participants and fans alike, underscoring the need for greater cohesion in future seasons.
