The return of Formula E to Sanya for an additional Asian race in the summer of 2026 seems increasingly likely and may be confirmed during October’s FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting. The 2025-26 Formula E calendar includes potential races in Sanya and Jakarta, with negotiations at an advanced stage, particularly for Sanya. Formula E CEO, Jeff Dodds, hinted at confidence in the financial investment flow for the Sanya event. Jakarta’s participation is still under negotiation, with an update expected within four weeks to determine its fate. Formula E is also exploring new European venues such as Imola, Bucharest, Zandvoort, and Barcelona to expand the calendar to 20 races by the 2026-27 season with Gen4 technology.
