The Tokyo ePrix is a race of the FIA Formula E World Championship, an all-electric single-seater racing series. The race was held for the first time at the Tokyo Street Circuit on 30 March 2024.[1]

History

[edit]

Tokyo was one of the first cities contacted by Formula E before its first season, with co-founder Alberto Longo attending meetings with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government since 2013.[2] The event has been seen as a way of achieving Tokyo's goal to ensure all new automobiles are non-gasoline by 2030, with Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike stating that "the championships will give momentum to spread zero-emission vehicles".[3] After nearly a decade, a preliminary agreement was reached between Formula E and the Tokyo Government on 4 October 2022 to hold a race in the spring of 2024, with the race being officially announced on the provisional calendar for the 2023-24 season on 20 June 2023.[4][1] The first Tokyo ePrix was won by Maximilian Günther for Maserati MSG Racing.

Circuit

[edit]

The circuit layout was firstly announced on 25 October 2023. It was proposed as 18-turn, 2.582 km (1.604 mi) street circuit around the Tokyo Big Sight.[5] However, the layout was modified before the race as 20-turn, 2.585 km (1.606 mi) street circuit around the same venue.
