Cape Town will be the second African-based E-Prix on the cal🐽endar, joining Marrakesh in Morocco.

Formula E is claiming it 𒊎will be one of the fastest street circuits on the calendar in 2023.

Formula E COO Alberto Longo said: “We’ve had a very positive response within our ecosystem of teams, drivers and sponsors about coming to Cape Town, so we are delighted that the City is joining our Season 9 calendar. When I first met Iain Banner in 2019, he said that he was confident that Cape Town had the potential ꧂to be one of the top cities on our global cal🌃endar. 

“This is my first visit to South Africa and having no💫w seen the beauty of the Mother City, I feel confident that he is right.”

“The public has been crying out for an open-wheel, street-circuit race and we are now answering those cries♏,” Race promoter Iain Banner added. “With Table Mountain as the backdrop and Robben Island in the foreground, I have no doubt the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will garner substantial support in Cape Town and throughout South Africa.”
