London E-Prix
It was announced on Tuesday 5 March that a London race will be added to the race calendar for season six. Formula E returns to the British capital – after racing here in seasons one and two – at an exciting new venue at the ExCeL arena in east London, subject to the approval of the FIA World Motor Sport Council.
Everyone at Jaguar Racing welcomes the return of London to the Formula E calendar. As the UK’s largest automotive manufacturer, with a heritage in motorsport, a race in the capital will be a real highlight next season and exciting news for all British motorsport fans.

London E-Prix
Jaguar Racing entered Formula E as the first premium manufacturer in the series with a mission to take our learnings from the race track back to the road. Electrification is a key part of Jaguar’s future and the technological innovations being made through Panasonic Jaguar Racing are proving invaluable. Using Formula E, we launched the Jaguar I‑PACE as our first battery electric vehicle ahead of our premium rivals and we are all proud that the I‑PACE has just been announced as European Car of the Year 2019.
Season 5, Mexico City E-Prix
London has a history of staging global sporting events and the UK capital re‑joins other global cities on the Formula E calendar to showcase the benefits and performance of the latest battery electric vehicle technologies. Importantly having a London race will also give our employees the opportunity to see Jaguar race against our competitors on home soil. We relish the opportunity to put on a great show next season.
The Hong Kong E‑Prix takes place on 10 March and will be the first race to be broadcast live on BBC2.
