Nissan Formula E Team is looking to end the 2022/23 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship on a high as the squad heads to London for Round 15 and 16 of the current season.
Having shown strong pace in Rome, where Norman Nato picked up the team’s first podium finish of the season, both he and Sacha Fenestraz will be looking to carry that performance to the Royal Docklands.
Debuting on the Formula E calendar in Season 7, the ExCeL Circuit is unique thanks to its half-inside, half-outside layout. The 2.09-kilometre track begins under the lights of the ExCeL London on the incredibly smooth surface, before heading outside and around the exhibition center. This section of the circuit is extremely abrasive and tough on the tires, with drivers having to adjust to the different grip levels throughout the lap. The middle part of the track also runs alongside the DLR line, offering an excellent photo opportunity of both race car and train.
The end of Season 9 also marks the completion of Formula E’s first year using the new Gen3 regulations. The change in rules has resulted in huge interest from fans, with 40,000 expected to visit the ExCeL London for the sold-out event. The 2022/23 edition of the series has seen a 15% increase in viewership on Season 8, and according to Nissan UK research, 45% of people say they’re more concerned about the impact of sports on the environment than they were 10 years ago.
Qualifying in London will get underway at 15:40 GST on both days, with the two races starting at 20:00 GST. Find out how to watch here.
