Formula E Racing in Brooklyn Last Chance for Tickets

POSTED BY
Evelyn Kanter

Formula E racing in NYC @nyconthecheap

Time is running out to get tickets for the first Formula racing in modern NYC history, in Brooklyn next weekend, with all electric racecars. Formula E is the world’s first fully-electric racing series, with races around the world, from Monaco to Montreal, Beijing to Brooklyn.

The NYC ePrix is at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal with open-wheel racecars including from Panasonic, Jaguar, Andretti and Venturi, which has been building rocket-shaped electric vehicles to win the world land speed record.

To answer your question – no – Tesla is not competing.

The history-making race is Saturday and Sunday, July 15th and 16th, 2017

This posting is from 2017.

Click here for information about the July 14/15, 2018 race.

The 1.21 mile circuit features 13 turns, at speeds of 100mph or more, with the Statue of Liberty and the skyline of Lower Manhattan as a backdrop.

Unlike conventional races in gas-powered vehicles, like the Indy 500, Formula E drivers race a couple of laps and then change vehicles for another few laps, and best times win. Changing vehicles is necessary because at such constant high speed, electric batteries drain sooner than a conventional electric family car driven at conventional road speeds.

But as with conventional races in gas-powered vehicles, including Formula 1 racing, what is learned on the track often trickles down into our driveways.

With Formula E, the focus is on new battery technologies that will let our plug-in family cars go faster and further between charges.

The NYC ePrix also has family-friendly events, including the opportunity to meet drivers, exhibits where kids can see tomorrow’s technology, and an area where grown-ups can test drive EV cars, but not the racecars.

This is an FIA-sanctioned race, before the finals in Montreal later in the year.

Single day tickets for this history-making event are $85 for adults, $55 for students, $42.50 for children 5-15.  Group tickets of 8+ are $68.  Weekend tickets for access o both days are $150 for adults, $95 for students, and $75 for children.  There is no group discount for the two-day ticket.

Get tickets now directly from FIA Formula E before they sell out.  Because who knows when the next open-wheel Formula race will be held right here in NYC.
