Cape Town Being Considered For Formula E Race In 2021
The very scenic Cape Town has always been on the radar to host a street race and as much as we all want it to be Formula 1, we may have to settle for Formula E, for now.
Chairman of Cape Town-based e-Movement, Iain Banner updates RaceFans on the progress made following the feasibility study undertaken by members of Formula E Operations during a site visit in September 2019.
“The objective of the study was to assess the suitability of Cape Town as a possible venue for a round of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship in future seasons,” Banner said. “Three possible circuit layouts have been identified and we are now in the process of exploring these possibilities with the City of Cape Town and other interested parties.”
