The all-electric series will race in South Africa from 2023 for five years, with the construction of the circuit beginning next mont♎h, while it is expected to🦂 be completed by December.

Cape Town 𒁃will be the second African-based E-Prix on the calendar, joining Marrakesh in Morocco.

The circuit will be situated through the Green Point and Waterfront district in Cape Town, showing off some ꧃of the city’s main landmarks.

F🍎ormula E is claiming it will be one of the fastest street c🐼ircuits on the calendar in 2023.

Formula E COO Alberto Longo said: “We’ve had a very positive response within our ecosystem of t🐎eams, drivers and sponsors about comi♓ng to Cape Town, so we are delighted that the City is joining our Season 9 calendar. When I first met Iain Banner in 2019, he said that he was confident that Cape Town had the potential to be one of the top cities on our global calendar. 

“This is my first visit to South Africa and having now seen the beaut🦂y of the Mother City, I feel confident that he is right.”

“The public has been crying out for an open-wheel, street-circuit race and we are now answeri🥂ng those cries,” Race promoter Iain Banner added. “With Table Mou✨ntain as the backdrop and Robben Island in the foreground, I have no doubt the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will garner substantial support in Cape Town and throughout South Africa.”
