Tokyo to have Formula E round in 2024

Formula E – the all-electric single-seater world championship – will include Tokyo in its tenth season in 2024. Since the series started in 2014 in Beijing, the organisers have worked hard to have races run in major cities around the world. With their zero emissions fully electric powertrains, the Formula E racing cars are a good way to demonstrate the potential of sustainable mobility.

The Japanese capital city is one of the venues of the 2024 season which will have 17 rounds. The first FIA-sanctioned world championship motorsport event held in Tokyo, the track will be on roads around the Tokyo Big Sight convention centre on the Tokyo Bay waterfront.

The Tokyo Big Sight area includes an exhibition centre where the Tokyo Motor Show (renamed to Japan Mobility Show this year) is held.

The Season 10 calendar represents our ongoing mission to create a dynamic schedule of new cities hosting races for the first or second time like Tokyo, Säo Paulo and Portland alongside established hosts like Berlin, Rome, London, Monaco, Diriyah and now Jakarta,” said Alberto Longo, Co-Founder & Chief Championship Officer, Formula E

Season 10 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will begin in Mexico City on January 13 and travel around the world over the following 6 months. Berlin will maintain its record as the only city to host an E-Prix in all 10 seasons of the championship, while Diriyah in Saudi Arabia will again host the only night race (two consecutive rounds).

Formula E rounds were held in Putrajaya in the first two seasons.

In Asia, the Formula E championship has been run in a number of cities, including Putrajaya in Malaysia in its early years. The championship had its first round in Beijing and other Asian cities have included Hongkong, Seoul, Hyderabad, Sanya (China) and Jakarta.
