Formula E have unveiled the track layout for their inaugural visit to New York.
The double header event, which will bring the curtain down on the third season of the all-electric championship, will take place in Brooklyn, near the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal and with a backdrop of the Statue of Liberty.
The 1.21 mile layout features 13 turns and a provisional date for the event has been set at July 29-30 2017 although the track unveiling stated "mid-July."
"To race in New York City is a historic moment not only for Formula E, but for motorsport in general and again highlights the philosophy of Formula E to bring fully-electric racing to the world’s greatest cities," said Formule E CEO Alejandro Agag. "When we originally started the project we could only dream of bringing Formula E to a place like New York, with arguably the most recognizable skyline of any city in the world. I’d like to thank everyone involved in helping bring Formula E to New York for many years to come."
"New York is one of the world's great cities. I think it will be an amazing event, particularly with that backdrop!" added reigning Formula E champion Sebastien Buemi. "I can't wait to race there – I expect it's going to be one of the most spectacular tracks we have been to so far. Formula E is always pushing the boundaries with where we go and, along with Hong Kong, Paris and Berlin, we can genuinely say we have the most exciting calendar ever seen in motorsport."
