Formula E - Mexico City to host round five of 2015-2016 season
Mexico City has today been confirmed as the host city for round five of the 2015-2016 FIA Formula E Championship, subject to approval from the FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting in December.
The Mexico City ePrix will take place on March 12, 2016. The track is approximately 2.14km in length and subject to FIA track homologation. It will use part of the historic Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez with seating for around 40,000 of the world's most passionate fans.
Mexico has a rich racing culture hosting major international races and now Formula E with the help of DHL, the championship's Official Logistics Partner.
Formula E CEO Alejandro Agag said: "We are delighted to be taking Formula E to Mexico City. This is one of the world's great cities, with a rich heritage and passion for motorsport. I'm confident the fans will create an amazing atmosphere and make the Mexico City ePrix one of the most memorable races of the season."
Alejandro Soberon, President and CEO of CIE said: "For OCESA it is an honour to open the doors to Formula E to the just newly-renovated Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez track. A circuit that is positioning itself day-by-day as the temple of motorsport."
Miguel Angel Mancera, Major of Mexico City added: "Staging events such as Formula E is helping to make Mexico City one of the 'sports capitals' of the world. After the success of the Formula 1 Grand Prix, the addition of the Formula E race shows that the Hermanos Rodriguez racetrack is the perfect place for all kinds of racing events and is a key part of the work that the Mexico City government has undertaken to enhance our tourist attractions."
Salvador Duran said: "Formula E is a great championship that produces fantastic races among top-line drivers and I am sure the Mexican fans are going to love the races. The sound of the cars will be totally new to them, but I know that once they see the quality of the action they are going to be hooked."
Tickets for the race will go on sale on December 7 with prices starting at 350 Mexican Pesos (approx. 19 Euros).
