The FIA have confirmed the updated calendar for the 2023 Formula E championship, and three new cities are being welcomed to the line-up. The championship sees electric cars fight for victory similarly to F1 on tracks more fitting for their agility and performance.

It has previously been announced that Hyderabad, India and Sao Paulo, Brazil had been included in next years calendar, and now Cape Town, South Africa has been confirmed. 

The 2023 season will commence in Mexico City on 14th January, with pre-season testing in Valencia, Spain on December 13th-16th. Berlin will also be having a double-header race weekend on 22nd and 23rd April. 

Fans are still waiting on the release of the two final cities to be added to the calendar, which will be for Rounds 10 and 13. 

Alberton Longo, Formula E Co-Founder and Chief Championship Officer, made the announcement that Cape Town was joining the line-up:

“We are excited to announce Cape Town as a new destination for our series in Season 9. Our local partners are working incredibly hard to bring an ABB FIA Formula E World Championship race to the city and we cannot wait to see the futuristic Gen3 race cars competing against the iconic natural backdrop of Table Mountain.

Longo also commented on the fact that the races in Seoul, South Korea had to be cancelled for the 2023 season, saying:

“Renovation work at the Olympic Stadium in Seoul, the venue for our first races in South Korea earlier this year, means we cannot return to the same location next season as originally planned and so we are exploring other options in South Korea to replace this venue. We are also in active discussions with more world cities and venues to host an event on the other date without a confirmed location.”
