“Next Season’s Mexico City E-Prix will be one of the most anticipated and spectacular races in Formula E’s history," said Alberto Longo, Chief Championship Officer and Co-Founder, Formula E. "Racing our new Gen3 car in front of fans for the first time, combined with new drivers and teams including McLaren and Maserati, we yet again expect the race to be a huge success. We can’t wait to build upon last year’s electric atmosphere and once again showcase the pinnacle of electric racing in this new era of technology and electric racing.”
