Berlin To Host Extra Formula E Grand Prix After Brussels Race Gets Called Off

This season's Formula E schedule "will feature an extra double header in Berlin after the race in Brussels was officially called off," according to Sam Smith of AUTOSPORT. Brussels was named on Formula E's season three calendar for July 2, but "doubt arose after its original venue in the Belgian capital had to be scrapped due to a clashing event." While work continued to find a new venue with the regional government, "the race's cancellation had been expected." The Berlin round will now expand to two days, June 10-11, at the Tempelhof airfield track, which itself "was brought in to replace the downtown circuit near Alexanderplatz." Plans are being discussed for both races at Berlin Tempelhof "to be run on a modified circuit" from the one used in '15. It is "believed that one possibility is a route through one of the former airport's terminal buildings" (AUTOSPORT, 3/9).
