Formula E New York: Everything to Know, From the Cars to Nearby Bars
The only electric Formula One-style race held in the U.S. is taking place July 13–14. Here’s what to know about the rules, who to watch, and where to eat, sleep, drink, and make a weekend of it.
If you want to know what your car might be like in 2030, and which brands—automotive or otherwise—may be the ones to make it, go watch a Formula E race.
The single-seater racing series, now in its fifth season, is like Formula 1—with open-cockpit cars powered by electricity, rather than gas. The next E-Prix will take place on July 13 and 14 in Red Hook in Brooklyn, N.Y. It’s the site of the final two races of the season and the only one this year set in U.S. shores.
