Formula E confirms track layout tweak for Mexico

Formula E has confirmed it will tweak the layout at the Autodromo Herma൩nos Rodriguez for next month’s Mexi𝔍co City E-Prix.

Formula E has raced at Mexico’s Formula 1 circu♚it since 2016, using a shortened version of the trac🅺k that incorporates part of the start/finish straight and the Foro Sol stadium section.

The previous four runnings have all seen the drivers negotiate a tight chicane at Turn 1/2 before sweeping around part of the oval circuit for Turn 3, coming to a stop at another chicane before rejoining 🧸the F1 layout.

Formula E confirms track layout tweak for Mexico

Formula E has confirmed it will tweak the layout at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez for next month’ꦫs Mexico City E-Prix.

Formula🌃 E has raced at Mexico’s Formula 1 circuit since 2016, using a shortened version of the track that incorporates part of the start/finish straight and the Foro Sol stadium section.

The previous four runnings have all seen the drivers n🐎egotiate a tight chicane at Turn 1/2 before sweeping around part of the oval circuit for Turn 3, coming to a stop at another chicane before rejoining the F1 layout.

This year will see the removal of the first chicane in favour of a right-hander corner that leads onto the oval, with drivers then turning🎃 left for an additional three corners before coming back onto the permanent layout (Turn 10-11 on the F1 track).

The ch🅰icane midway through the Peraltada final corner has also been removed, meaning it now mirrors the F1 version.

Last year's Mexico City E-Prix proved to be one of the most dramatic and memorable races of thꦑe season as Lucas di Grassi snatched v🌄ictory away from Pascal Wehrlein in the final few metres of the race as the Mahindra driver slowed to save energy.

The M🌜exico City E-Prix takes place on February 15 at the Autodromo 𒊎Hermanos Rodriguez.
