The all-electric series’ only United States race on the 2022-23 calendar features a very different track layout to the typical street tracks that make up the bulk of the schedule, with long straights, fast corners and very few hard braking points.
It has left teams expecting a race where the focus will be on energy saving for the majority of the 28-lap duration, with drivers looking to benefit from each other's slipstream to meet their energy targets.
Maserati team principal James Rossiter said: “I watched the guys a lot in the simulator, we tried many different strategies. The guys in the top three will dictate the dynamic and we’ll see something a bit unique.
“I am quite excited to see how it turns out. It’s an incredibly fast circuit, you’ll need some big commitment in qualifying. It’s something new for Formula E.”
Michael Andretti, whose eponymous team competes in FE as Avalanche Andretti, added: “It will be one of those where you won’t want to lead the race, because you’ll be used with the draft. It will be interesting to see how slow the pace will be.”
