The Monaco Historic GP runs every two years, next one is 2014 then 2016 etc, always two weeks before the F1 GP. The first Formula E race will run in 2015, two weeks before the F1 GP (i.e. the week-end left free that year by the Historic GP). I understand it will be run entirely on the Saturday and will use a short circuit avoiding the climb up (and down) to the Casino. So the cars will turn right at Ste Devote back at sea level (Avenue JF Kennedy), then almost immediately hairpin right just before the Tabac corner. They used this "track" a few years ago for a special stage on the Monte-Carlo Rally.

Perhaps electric rallycross cars would be more interesting for these tight courses, don't you think?

Sebastian Bourdais:
Quote:
“Obviously, Jay released that they will race in Formula E, so I will race for him in that series next year, except for any races where there are IndyCar conflicts; so I will stay connected with Dragon and I think it's a really cool chance to support something new the FIA is trying with electric cars,” Bourdais revealed. “We'll keep a relationship there, and this is thanks to both teams having flexibility for me to do the IndyCar championship and also Formula E.”

Next year's IndyCar season ends at the end of Aug, so all the teams and drivers are actually free to compete in Formula E which begins on 20 Sep.

They can probably do all the races until the sixth round in LA in mid Feb 2015 before focusing on Indycar again.

Four-time Formula One world champion Alain Prost is on the verge of making a return to racing as a team owner in the Formula E electric championship which begins next year.

Alongside DAMS no less.

I have to say that I didn't buy into the hype of Formula E at all initially, but there are some impressive names being connected with it.

If it is done with a better marketing approach than Superleague and even Indycar - which could seriously improve there -, it could be absolutely huge. It is the most logical step towards "clean or cleaner" racing! As much as I love my engine sounds, it is the future...

Sebastian Vettel on FIA Formula E: I don’t like it. I think it’s not the future. F1 needs to scream, needs to be loud, there needs to be the vibration.

But the article takes position from Nico Rosberg's observation of "wait and see".

Great. Prost back. Aguri back. Only leaves the possibility to see Super Nova, iSport and/or Astromega back among the applications to entry in Formula E. Just a dream...

This very informative article by South China Morning Post confirms that the first ever round of the series will be in Beijing's Olympic Green, as well as mentioning that New York City is on the cards for 2015-2016. Also, it seems like Hong Kong's track will go directly through the CBD, right by that gorgeous waterfront. Interesting bits of news.

Why test it at only 25% of its race power?

And also, are the teams making their own cars i.e. F1 or having a 1-make series i.e. Indycar?

It will be a one-make the first few years, to reduce costs. The plan is to open the competition later.
