With 17 pulse-pounding races etched into the schedule, the new season marks an era of unprecedented global expansion for the championship, captivating fans, sponsors and stakeholders alike.
Kicking off this globetrotting Formula E odyssey is Mexico City on January 13, 2024, launching the season with high-octane action on the streets of the vibrant Mexican capital. The calendar then intricately traces a tapestry of thrills across 13 countries, delivering a kaleidoscopic spectacle that transcends borders and cultures.
Formula E calendar 2024: Tokyo makes its debut
The inclusion of Tokyo, making its debut as a host city, underscores Formula E’s ascendancy and broadening global appeal. The inaugural Tokyo E-Prix, slated for March 30, will see the futuristic Japanese megapolis illuminated with elite electric racing for the first time in an FIA world championship event. Undoubtedly, this will boost Tokyo’s sporting prestige while aligning with its environmentally progressive ethos. The race will rev up in the picturesque waterfront area of Odaiba, with the Tokyo Governor already voicing strong enthusiasm for the event.
While Tokyo may steal headlines, three tantalizing calendar slots remain unfilled, fueling feverish speculation among fans. Front-running contenders include Cape Town with its breathtaking natural vistas, the Indian city of Hyderabad, and potentially an additional US venue. Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds revealed both Spain and China are also under consideration, alongside ambitions of staging a race around Los Angeles’ iconic Dodgers Stadium in 2025.
Among other novel additions under discussion is the sun-kissed Spanish city of Malaga, which would mark another milestone in Formula E’s European expansion while establishing Spain as a major player in electric racing. If confirmed, hearing Formula E’s turbine-like powertrains reverberate through Malaga’s historic streets will be an unforgettable experience.
