The FIA Formula E Championship returns to the streets of NYC in July. It’s your only opportunity to see Formula One style cars race in NYC.
See teams including from Audi Sport, BMW, Nissan eDam, Venturi, Panasonic Jaguar, Virgin and Mahindra race for the season trophy.
Discount ticket sales include the chance to win a bunch of prizes including taking a passenger lap and logo swag.
Since these are all-electric vehicles, it’s also a glimpse at the future of zero-emission driving, because so much of what is learned on racetracks leads to our driveways.
The E-Prix is the world’s first fully-electric racing series, with races around the world, from Monaco to Montreal, Beijing to Brooklyn, and it’s been growing in popularity with more teams and more excitement each season.
2019 is the third year Formula E races in NYC, and the second year that NYC hosts the championship races.
