Talks held to bring Formula E back to the UK
ABB FIA Formula E could soon return to race in the UK again according to the boss of the electric championship, Alejandro Agag.
At the Autosport Awards earlier this month Agag teased attendees by saying he had a “secret meeting” with chairman of Motorsport UK, the UK’S governing body, David Richards.
“It is not easy – we are looking at different options,” Agag said.
“London would be of course a really strong option, but we are open to Birmingham, Manchester – other cities in the UK.
“We are going to be working with [Motorsport UK] to see if we can make that happen and we have a little plan that we’ve agreed, David Richards and I; steps to see if we can do it.
“It is not easy, but we are working together for it.
“First [we have] to find the right space; we have people in London and other places looking.
“In London we are combing the city, looking at every single street, every single corner, we want to analyse the possibility of a race.
“When we have that feasibility of the different areas, then we will take the next step but the first is to identify the places where we can host the race in London.”
FE last raced in the UK at the end of its second season in 2015/16, when Nico Prost won both London E-prix races in Battersea Park.
