The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship has confirmed the latest changes to the series 2021 calendar re♐lating to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Both the Rome E-Prix and the Valencia E-Prix will be ๊changed to double header events next month, m꧅irroring the season-opening Diriyah E-Prix at the end of February.
Rome will now host Round 3 and 4 of꧙ the campaign on 10-11 April at the revised Circuito Cittadino dell’EUR circuit, while Valenica will stage its first-ever Formula E races across 24-25 April.
The scheduled Formula E rookie test, which was𒉰 originally planned to take place on Sunday 25 April at the Circuit Ricar𒐪do Tormo, will no longer go ahead as a direct result of the changes to the calendar.

Formula E said it “will continue to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and is in constant communication with its 📖community of teams, manufacturer♑s, partners, broadcasters and host cities.
“All calendar updates depend on traܫvel restrictions, 🌳as well as local government protocols and are subject to approval of the FIA World Motor Sport Council.”
Formula E has already had to make a number of major changes to its troubled 2021 calendar due to the coronavirus pandemic, which forced the planned season-opener in Santiago to be delayed until June, as 🤡well as the indefinite postponement of races in Mexico and Sanya.
