Misano handed Formula E double-header in 2024

The Misano circuit in Italy will host a Formula E event for the first time next season, as the all-electric championship's 2023-24 calendar has been ratified by the FIA.

The permanent circuit will host a double-header on 13-14 April following a vote by the FIA's World Motor Sport Council and it will replace the Circuito Cittadino dell'EUR street circuit in Rome as the location for Formula E's race in Italy.

The decision to leave Rome comes after a substantial multi-car crash in this year's race, with the new Gen3 machine deemed too fast for the current layout.

OPINION: The safety considerations prompted by Formula E's Rome pile-up

A location for Formula E's Italian double-header was the only venue missing off the original calendar released back in October, with Misano now set to become the third new location in 2024.

The championship will make a maiden visit to Tokyo on 30 March, while the series will also return to China, having last visited in 2019, and use part of the Shanghai International Circuit for the first time during a double-header on 25-26 May.

Alberto Longo, co-founder of Formula E, said: “We are excited to race at the historic Misano track for the first time and introduce the huge local motorsport fanbase to Formula E’s uniquely competitive racing.
