Formula E to Illuminate Tokyo with the 2026 TDK Tokyo E-Prix

The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship is set to take Tokyo by storm on July 25 and 26, 2026.

Fans can expect a unique racing experience as electric vehicles zip through a street circuit against the backdrop of Tokyo's dazzling night lights, promising excitement that transcends traditional motorsport events.

What Makes Formula E Unique?

Formula E, managed by the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile), is a competition exclusively showcasing electric racing cars since its inception in 2014. Referred to as the 'electric F1', its uniqueness lies in hosting races in the heart of major global cities. By leveraging electric technology, these machines operate quietly and without producing harmful emissions, allowing them to race in urban environments without disrupting residents. Tokyo's upcoming race is a prime example, featuring a specially designed street circuit near the Tokyo Big Sight.

This layout poses a blend of straightaways, technical turns, and braking zones, emphasizing not just top speed but also precision in braking and acceleration out of corners.
