GEN3 EVO

Developed by specialists from Formula E and the FIA, the latest GEN3 Evo edition marks a significant leap in electric racing technology, with acceleration 0-60mph 30% faster than a current F1 car, and 36% faster than the GEN3 car.

São Paulo

São Paulo - a venue that is home to the world-famous carnival celebrations and incredible samba schools. Formula E's grid will be bringing the party to the Anhembi Sambadrome, with action-packed racing from start-to-finish.

With three long straights connected by tricky chicanes, sweeping corners and tight turns, the circuit in São Paulo is a challenging lap for the pack. Starting on the main straight that's usually reserved for carnival floats and revelry, there will be a different type of dancing as the drivers put their toe tapping to use on the brake pedals into the series of sharp turns, that feed to a looping hairpin that fires the field down the straight
