Circuit

The ePrix is held at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez and is currently the only permanent racing facility on the Formula E calendar, albeit in a very different form to the version used in Formula One. The layout is based on a modified version of a short oval that was created at the track for the local stock car racing series. It utilises the famous Peraltada final corner and the spectacular stadium section, and the track is just over two kilometers in length. It was slightly altered for the 2017 edition, with the Turn 1 chicane being reprofiled to make for better racing. Track layout modification was done by Agustin Delicado Zomeño.[1]

In 2020, the chicane was removed after Nelson Piquet Jr. had a massive shunt there the previous year.

gollark: They totally can.
gollark: Having one organization perform an increasingly large amount of important functions never ends well.
gollark: Payments are hard and Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, despite being generally kind of terrible, at least have a solution which is *technologically* secured instead of just relying on goodwill or something, and which doesn't force you into one central provider.
gollark: That's a good thing. Having your payment provider *also* keep your money is a problem.
gollark: It's a bad solution. You should just use something else *where possible*.
