SEOUL, May 5 (Korea Bizwire) — Formula E Korea said Wednesday it will host the Seoul E-Prix in Seoul’s Jamsil neighborhood on August 13-14.
The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, an annual motor racing championship for electrically powered vehicles, is hosted by the International Automobile Federation (FIA).
The championship, dubbed “Formula E,” has been held every year since 2014 in major cities around the world, such as New York, London and Paris.
The Seoul championship, titled “Seoul E-Prix 2022,” will be the final competition of the 2021-2022 season. World-class automakers, such as Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and BMW, are scheduled to form teams to participate in Seoul E-Prix 2022.
It will be the first time for Formula E to be held in South Korea.
The Seoul championship was originally scheduled to be held in May 2020 but was postponed due to the spread of COVID-19.
