About This Event

Shanghai puts Formula E's new GEN4 cars, the most powerful the series has raced, on the Formula 1 circuit shaped like the Chinese character 上 (shang, meaning above). There is a race on each day of the weekend, and the two are run to different formats: a flat out sprint and the classic E-Prix where saving energy decides it.

1What to Expect

Rounds 18 and 19 of 21, on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 July 2027, the second last race weekend of the season before the Tokyo finale on 24 and 25 July.
The two races: E-PrixUnleashed is a 30 minute sprint in high downforce trim with 6 minutes of Attack Mode and no Pit Boost. The E-Prix is 45 minutes in low downforce trim with 8 minutes of Attack Mode and a mandatory Pit Boost stop. Which race runs on which day is not yet announced.
GEN4 is new for this season: 450kW in the race, 600kW in Attack Mode, all wheel drive running for the whole race and a top speed of 335km/h.

Each race day runs practice, qualifying and the race. Qualifying ends in head to head Duels, and from this season drivers who reach the Duels score championship points. The 2027 session times are not yet published.
In 2026 the series used a 3.051km clockwise shortened version of the Grand Prix circuit. The 2027 layout is not yet announced.
Shanghai in July is very hot and humid with afternoon thunderstorms, and the plum rain season runs into early July. Rain hit the 2026 weekend and the organiser moved both races forward to 12:05 with gates opening at 07:30.

2Best Way to Experience It

  • Both days are needed to see both race formats, and in 2026 the two day pass cost less than two single day tickets in every grandstand category.
  • Qualifying Duels run in the morning before each race, so a full day covers practice, the knockout and the race from one seat.
  • In 2026 a Track Plus ticket gave access to the track during set sessions, capped at 2,000 per day and sold first come first served. A 2027 version is not yet announced.
