Formula E: Calendar released for 2019-2020 with London double-header being season finale

LONDON will be Formula E’s finale next season as the new 2019-20 calendar reveals an inaugural race in Seoul.

The all-electric series will have 14 rounds in 12 cities, starting off with a double header in Saudi Arabia before the campaign comes to a close with two races in London.

Round three and seven of next season are listed as TBC with the championship reportedly in talks with a number of cities ahead of season six.

The campaign will kick off considerably earlier than this current season, starting in November rather than December.

Next season will see the introduction of Porsche entering the championship making it a 24-car grid while Mercedes will take over from HWA.

Jaguar's team boss, James Barclay said: "It is fantastic to see the sport growing with increased number of teams and race locations for 2019/2020.

"It is testament to the success of the championship that we see expansion and advancement year-on-year.

"This is reflected in the competitiveness of the championship, as well as the increased interest around the world – from fans, as well as partners and hosts.

“The return to London for the season finale is particularly exciting for Panasonic Jaguar Racing.

"As the UK’s largest automotive manufacturer, with a rich heritage in motorsport, a race in the capital will be a real highlight next season and exciting news for all British motorsport fans and our thousands of employees here in the UK.”

The Gen2 car was parked outside No. 10 Downing Street as the UK government revealed plans to reduce and avoid emissions.

This will be brought in to affect transport, homes, farming and industry emissions as the city hosts the electric series next year in June.

The government is aiming to be ‘net-zero’ by 2020 – which means the energy used is roughly equal to the amount of renewable energy created.
