Misano ePrix explained

The Misano ePrix[1] was a race of the FIA Formula E World Championship, an all-electric single-seater racing series. The first race was held at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli on 13 April 2024.[2]

History

Formula E has raced in Italy since 2018 with the Rome ePrix taking place at the Circuito Cittadino dell'EUR. However, following a review by experts following a multi-car pile up crash in the 2023 edition, it was decided that a new Italian venue should be found. Multiple other tracks were considered by Formula E, such as Imola Circuit and Vallelunga Circuit.[3]

On 22 November 2023, it was announced that the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli would host the new Italian race in the 2023–24 season, with a double-header weekend.[4]

Circuit

On 23 February 2024, it was announced that a specific layout would be built and used for the Formula E race, in which the layout will have length and 14 turns.[5]
