The Misano ePrix[1] is a future race of the FIA Formula E World Championship, an all-electric single-seater racing series. The first race will be held at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli on 13 April 2024.[2]

History

Formula E has raced in Italy since 2018 with the Rome ePrix taking place at the Circuito Cittadino dell'EUR. However, following a review by experts following a multi-car pile up crash in the 2023 edition, it was decided that a new Italian venue should be found. Multiple other tracks were considered by Formula E, such as Imola Circuit and Vallelunga Circuit.[3]

On 22 November 2023, it was announced that the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli would host the new Italian race in the 2023-24 season, with a double-header weekend.[4]

Circuit

Although it was announced on 22 November that the race will be held at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, the specific layout was not announced.
