Formula E

Berlin ePrix in the heart of Berlin!

The FIA Formula E will be staged in the heart of Germany’s capital city in 2016! DHL’s home fixture – the Berlin ePrix – will take place on May 21st. After last year’s successful race, fans can look forward to a new circuit layout in the city center.

The 2.030km circuit, which remains subject to approval from the Berlin city authorities, and FIA track homologation, will feature 11 turns and wind its way around Strausberger Platz and towards Alexanderplatz with the pitlane on Karl-Marx-Allee. All relevant parties are working hard on the approval of the new location so the event will take place in Berlin in 2016. 

“It is fantastic news that we have been able to find a new location to race in Berlin and I want to thank everybody who has been involved in making this happen for all their hard work in such a short space of time,” said Alejandro Agag, CEO of Formula E. “Germany is an incredibly important market for Formula E as the home of DHL, the championship’s Official Logistics Partner.” 

Jean Todt, President of the FIA: “Berlin is one of the most important capital cities in the world, the cultural and political centre of Germany, a country where the motor industry plays a very important role and where there is a particularly keen awareness of mobility for the future.”

Team Abt Schaeffler Audi Sport are also looking forward immensely to the home race. Daniel Abt, one of two German drivers competing in Formula E, commented: “Congratulations! Formula E hasn’t only come up with a tremendous alternative location in Berlin but created a circuit with a lot of character. The configuration looks interesting and, with its long straights and hairpin turns, seems to be promising a thrilling race as well.”

Children six-years-old and under and seniors over 60 enter for free, with a family of four (two adults, one child aged between seven and 16, and one child under six) able to access the race for just 53 Euros at early bird prices.
