The 2016 Formula E calendar partially unveiled
The 2016 Formula E season is already in preparation and the calendar has been partially revealed by the FIA. Next year, a race will take place in Paris, and the final round will once again be held on the streets of London.
The first season of Formula E, which saw Nelson Piquet Jr crowned as the drivers’ champion and the e-Dams-Renault team as the constructors’ champion, has just ended, and the FIA has already released a preliminary version of next season’s calendar.
In 2016, the new electric formula will make a notable stop on the streets of Paris. The race is expected to take place around the Invalides on June 30th. The opening round will be held in Beijing on October 17, 2015. The discipline will also visit Malaysia, Uruguay, Argentina, the United States, Germany, Russia, and Great Britain, which will host the closing round with two races on the streets of London.
Note that the race in Monaco no longer appears on the calendar after a first event this year that was nonetheless successful. Another country is expected to host a race on March 19, 2016, but the FIA has not yet announced the name of the candidate.
