The "ABB FIA Formula E World Championship," the world's top-tier electric car racing series, will be held around Tokyo Big Sight in Tokyo's Ariake district on July 25 (Sat.) and 26 (Sun.), 2026. The "2026 TDK Tokyo E-Prix" is set to be the first night race for Formula E in Tokyo. With the Tokyo nightscape as a backdrop, electric racing cars will speed through a street circuit, offering a racing experience distinct from conventional motorsports in Japan. Formula E is a world championship for electric cars governed by the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile). Since its inception in 2014, all machines have competed purely on electricity, earning it the nickname "F1 of Electricity." Its most distinctive feature is that the race venues are major cities around the world. Because the machines are electric, producing no exhaust gases and generating less noise than conventional racing cars, they can race on street circuits specially set up in urban areas. The Tokyo event is one such example, with the race taking place on a special course set up around Tokyo Big Sight. Formula E Official Page Race Course Introduction The course for the Tokyo event is planned to be 2.585 km long and consist of 20 corners. The layout features a combination of straights, tight corners, and braking zones, requiring not just top speed but also precise braking, efficient acceleration out of corners, and overtaking in limited space. On street circuits, the walls are close, and even a small mistake can lead to significant time loss. Furthermore, track temperatures and grip levels can vary greatly, demanding high concentration and precise car control from the drivers. As a night race in 2026, the Tokyo event will present visibility and track conditions different from daytime, which will also influence the race's progression and be a key point to watch. The 2026 Tokyo event will be held as a "double-header," with final races taking place over two days, July 25 (Sat.) and 26 (Sun.). Qualifyin
