Formula E Unveils Paris EPrix Circuit Layout For Event's Inaugural Running In April

The circuit that will host the first ever street race in central Paris for a round of the FIA Formula E Championship "has been unveiled," according to Sam Smith of MOTORSPORT. The inaugural Paris ePrix, scheduled for April 23, "will take place around the historic Les Invalides area of the French capital, and will encompass 14 turns over 1.93km." The track will race around the Musee de l'Armee, "one of Paris' most recognisable buildings, which includes the Dome des Invalides." Formula E CEO Alejandro Agag said, "As a series we are fortunate enough to race in some incredible locations but none more spectacular than the backdrop in the city of Paris." The track is close to the FIA headquarters in the Place de la Concorde, and FIA President Jean Todt, who has been a "vocal advocate" of Formula E since its inception, said, "It is entirely logical that a country like France, that has always been at the cutting-edge of innovation, should host an ePrix in its capital city" (MOTORSPORT, 1/13).
