Formula E - Tokyo ePrix I

The Tokyo ePrix I brings formula-e racing to the streets of Tokyo with high-speed electric racing. This formula-e event takes place at the Tokyo Street Circuit, which winds around Tokyo Big Sight in the Ariake district of Koto City. The 2.585 km track features 20 turns in an anti-clockwise direction, combining fast straights with challenging corners along the Tokyo waterfront.

Fans of the Tokyo ePrix I can watch top formula-e drivers compete in all-electric open-wheel cars. The field includes skilled racers like Maximilian Günther, who won the first Tokyo race, along with Jean-Éric Vergne, Jake Dennis, and many other talented competitors from across the globe.

The formula-e cars at the Tokyo ePrix I use advanced technology. These Gen3 vehicles produce up to 350 kW (476 bhp) during qualifying and feature the new Pit Boost system where drivers make a mandatory stop to recharge their batteries. The cars use Hankook all-weather tires and have energy recovery systems.

The Tokyo ePrix I made history as the first time public roads in Tokyo closed for a motorsport world championship race. The event began after years of planning, with early discussions starting in 2013 and a formal agreement reached in 2022.

The Tokyo formula-e race stands out with its Fan Village, which offers activities and performances for attendees. The Tokyo Big Sight location makes access simple through public transport options. This formula-e event shows Tokyo's commitment to sustainable mobility and new transportation technologies.

This Tokyo ePrix I continues to build on formula-e's reputation for close racing and technological innovation in a spectacular Tokyo setting. The combination of urban racing and electric technology makes this a significant addition to the formula-e calendar.
