German capital Berlin was announced as the tenth host city for the FIA Formula E Championship, an all-electric racing series which is scheduled to begin in 2014.
The launched event was held beside the city’s Brandenburg Gate and attented by selected guests, including Cornelia Yzer, Senator for economics, technology & research, and Gernot Lobenberg, director of the Berlin Agency for Electromobility.
“We are delighted to be in Berlin and very grateful to the Senator and to the Berlin authorities for welcoming our Championship to their city. With more than 1,200 electric vehicles and over 220 public charging points already in circulation, Berlin is leading the way in Europe for innovation and sustainable mobility, which is why we selected it as a host city for Formula E. We’re now very much looking forward to putting on a great show for the people of Berlin at Tempelhof and one the city can be proud of,” said Alejandro Agag, CEO of Formula E Holdings.
The final Formula E calendar - featuring London, Rome, Los Angeles, Miami, Beijing, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Putrajaya, Bangkok, and Berlin – will be submitted for approval at the 2013 World Motor Sport Council in September.
