Formula E is making a comeback on the race track.
After 158 days, Formula E will restart its sixth season on August 5. The last appearance was the Marrakesh E-Prix on February 29, the fifth race of the season.
The series will now continue with a very compact schedule: Formula E will be running six races within roughly one week at the former Tempelhof Airport in Berlin.
The three “double headers” will run on August 5/6, 8/9 and 12/13 and will be held on different track variants without spectators. To ensure the health of all the teams and employees and to meet all of the official requirements, Formula E has developed a comprehensive safety concept in conjunction with German authorities.
At Lucas di Grassi’s side, René Rast will contest the remaining races of the current season with the Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler team.
René Rast has won two DTM drivers’ titles, the first in 2017 and the second last year. The 33-year-old German already has some limited Formula E experience as well. In 2016, he raced in the Berlin E-Prix for another team, however that event was held on a street circuit downtown.
