Formula E adds China race

The Formula E all-electric series will race in Chinese mainland next season with the city of Sanya set to host round six in March 2019, organizers said yesterday. Beijing hosted the first Formula E race in 2014, around the park used for the 2008 Summer Olympics, and Hong Kong has featured more recently. Hong Kong will host a race on March 10 next year and Sanya, Hainan Province, on March 23. “(Returning) to Chinese mainland is an important step in a key territory for the series and a market that’s instrumental to the continued development and uptake of electric vehicles globally,” said Formula E chief executive Alejandro Agag in a statement. The opening race of the 2018-19 season will be in the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh in December, the first Formula E race in the Middle East. The current season ends in New York later this month.
