Formula E - Monaco ePrix I

The Monaco ePrix I brings electric racing to the famous streets of Monte Carlo. This Formula E event showcases electric vehicles racing on the same legendary circuit used for Formula 1. The track stretches 3.337 km through Monaco and includes iconic sections like Sainte-Dévote, Casino Square, and the Grand Hotel Hairpin.

Drivers will complete 51 laps for a total distance of 90.015 km. The Monaco ePrix features 11 teams using the Formula E Gen3 Evo car. These electric racers reach speeds up to 322 kph with 350 kW of power in qualifying mode.

Fans can vote for their favorite drivers through the official Formula E website. This voting gives selected drivers extra power for 5 seconds during the race. The Monaco ePrix also includes a mandatory pit stop where cars receive a battery recharge of about 10%.

The Monaco ePrix has rich history dating back to 2015. The event initially ran every two years but now appears yearly on the Formula E calendar. Since 2021, races use the full Formula 1 circuit layout, creating more chances for overtaking.

The narrow streets of Monaco create a technical challenge for drivers. A local saying compares racing here to riding a bicycle in your living room. Monaco-based team Maserati MSG Racing adds local interest to the competition.

Formula E stands apart from other motorsports with its focus on sustainable racing and electric vehicle technology. The Monaco ePrix I represents the future of racing while honoring the tradition of Monte Carlo's racing heritage.
