CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA, 19 October 2023. Following a meeting of the FIA World Motor Sport Council, the Formula E calendar for Season 10 in 2024 has been announced. The schedule includes new races in Shanghai and Tokyo, and a return to Hyderabad (India), Diriyah (Saudi Arabia), and Sao Paulo (Brazil).
e-Movement and the City of Cape Town remain committed to the goal of bringing the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship back to Cape Town in 2025. We are confident that the additional time, and the ongoing local support from our valued partners and supporters, will mean Cape Town can be announced as a host city when the provisional calendar for Season 11 is published in June next year.

“The City of Cape Town remains committed to the goal of bringing the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship back to Cape Town in 2025 and beyond. Having just staged such a successful 2023 race, the lead time of just 16 months will allow for a long-term plan to be put in place to ensure the E-Prix returns to Cape Town on a regular basis.“ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security Alderman JP Smith.

Chairman of Formula E Cape Town, Iain Banner, says, “Building on the phenomenal success of this year’s event, we plan to surprise and delight South Africans when we do it again in 2025. In the meantime, as we lay the foundation for an even bigger and better event, we continue with all our purpose work in 2024, including staging Africa’s Green Economy Summit (AGES) in February 2024, Formula Student Africa, and Go Green Africa. We wish all the teams a fantastic season as they bring the Formula E fever to China, India, and the US. As a local promoter, we’re on a drive for 2025”.

The Cape Town E-Prix was voted the best race of the 2023 Season in a fans’ choice poll and drivers and organisers are eagerly anticipating the event’s return to the Mother City.
ABB FIA Formula E Co-Founder & Chief Championship Officer, Alberto Longo says “Cape Town was a highlight of Season 9, not just for local fans at the race, but for TV viewers around the world who tuned in to see spectacular racing against the iconic backdrop. We remain completely supportive of the local stakeholders and know they are doing all they can to stage a Formula E race in 2025.”
