Everything is ready for the third round of the season with the Formula which takes place in Rome. Formula E is for the fourth time in Rome, on the EUR city circuit, a few kilometers from the Colosseum. Created for the 2017/18 Rome E-Prix, the track has been modified and expanded starting from last season. First European stage and first city circuit of Formula 8 season, the Roman track with its very treacherous curves, both uneven surfaces and with different levels of grip, is particularly demanding for both the single-seaters and the drivers.
Record turnout and many initiatives for the public
Around 20,000 spectators are expected over the weekend and the capital has already begun to savor the atmosphere of the E-Prix with special events, including the “Locals on Track” initiative which has led hundreds of fans to walk and run on the circuit of ‘Eur.
The Rome E-Prix officially starts on Saturday 9th with the first two free practice sessions scheduled at 7.15 and 9.00. Qualifying takes place at 10.40, while Race 1 is scheduled for 15.00. The electric single-seater show returns on Sunday 10 with the third free practice round starting at 8.30. Qualifying for Race 2 also starts at 10.40, with the green light at 15.00.
