Tokyo ePrix

The Tokyo ePrix is a race of the FIA Formula E World Championship, an all-electric single-seater racing series. The race was held for the first time at the Tokyo Street Circuit on 30 March 2024.

History
Tokyo was one of the first cities contacted by Formula E before its first season, with co-founder Alberto Longo attending meetings with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government since 2013. The event has been seen as a way of achieving Tokyo's goal to ensure all new automobiles are non-gasoline by 2030, with Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike stating that "the championships will give momentum to spread zero-emission vehicles". After nearly a decade, a preliminary agreement was reached between Formula E and the Tokyo Government on 4 October 2022 to hold a race in the spring of 2024, with the race being officially announced on the provisional calendar for the 2023-24 season on 20 June 2023. The first Tokyo ePrix was won by Maximilian Günther for Maserati MSG Racing.

Circuit
The circuit layout was firstly announced on 25 October 2023. It was proposed as 18-turn, 2.582 km street circuit around the Tokyo Big Sight. However, the layout was modified before the race as 20-turn, 2.585 km street circuit around the same venue.
