Formula E to race on London streets

Tuesday, 5 March 2019 16:00

Formula E bosses have announced a race on the streets of London will be held in 2020.

The race will take place around the London Docklands and the ExCel centre.

The London ePrix was previously held in 2015 and 2016, when Battersea Park provided the stage for back-to-back season finales.

British Virgin Racing driver Sam Bird spoke to BBC Sport: "It's massively exciting that Formula E is coming back to London.

"I was fortunate enough to win one of previous London ePrixs, in my hometown. It's great that motorsport is coming back to the UK, with such a large fanbase.

"It's going to be the first race where a motorsport event goes outdoors and into the ExCel in London."
