About This Event
Formula E's first Brazilian race, held on a 2.9km street circuit incorporating the Anhembi Sambadrome in São Paulo's Santana district since 2023. An anticlockwise layout with eleven corners and the championship's longest flat-out section at 750 metres, run in humid summer conditions with heat and battery management critical. São Paulo is one of only five cities to have hosted a Formula E season opener.
