Brands Hatch and Silverstone are the two clear choices for Formula E’s new UK venue in its Gen4 era that starts at the end of 2026
Brands Hatch and Silverstone are the two leading candidates for Formula E’s new UK venue in the Gen4 era starting in 2026. Discussions have begun to explore potential track layouts for a race in early summer 2027 at one of these iconic locations. Formula E needs to finalize its 2026-27 calendar by June’s World Motorsport Council meeting, with both Silverstone and Brands Hatch being synonymous with the British Grand Prix. While these two circuits are the top contenders, a third undisclosed option, likely Donington Park, is also being considered. Brands Hatch is appealing due to its proximity to London and unique track layout, while Silverstone offers a “plug and play” option with its esteemed facilities. The decision between the two prestigious venues may come down to logistical challenges like scheduling conflicts with other major motorsport events.
