Formula E has released its calendar for 2025/26 season which features 18 races in all in 12 venues, while Nissan firms Sergio Sette Camara for Berlin weekend.
Calendar –
Featuring its most expansive season yet with 18 races across 12 global cities, highlights include new races in Madrid and Miami’s International Autodrome for the first time. The all-electric series’ record-breaking 12th season begins on 6 December 2025 on the vibrant streets of São Paulo, before the championship returns to Mexico City in January.
Formula E then makes its first race appearance at the Miami International Autodrome on 31 January – taking high-speed electric street racing closer to the heart of one of America’s most passionate sports hubs on the East Coast of the USA. Securing a race at the venue follows the successful delivery of its EVO Sessions event in March 2025.
February sees a nighttime double-header under the lights in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, while Madrid debuts on the calendar in March at the historic Circuito de Madrid-Jarama – the first time Formula E has raced in the Spanish capital – and the first World Championship motorsport event held in the city in 37 years, since 1989.
Returning venues include Berlin, Tokyo, and Shanghai, each hosting double-header race weekends, while Monaco continues its role as the jewel in the crown of motorsport, hosting back-to-back races on the iconic street circuit, only the second time it has hosted World Championship races on consecutive days after it debuted earlier in May this year.
The season concludes once more in London, with a climactic double-header at the Excel on 15-16 August 2026 that will round out the end of the GEN3 Evo era. Two further locations to complete the calendar are awaiting public confirmation, as end-stage negotiations are ongoing with local authorities ahead of forthcoming World Motorsport Council Meetings later in the year, when the final calendar will be revealed and ratified.
Sustainability has been central to the planning and delivery of the calendar with dedicated clusters of events grouped by continent across the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific to reduce freight transport and CO2 emissions, and maximise efficiencies across regions.
Jeff Dodds, CEO, Formula E, said: “This calendar is our most competitive yet, blending exciting new and existing venues with legendary circuits that define Formula E. With greater attention on calendar stability, we’re becoming easier to find, engage with and attend, unlocking greater fan loyalty and love.
“Our debut in Madrid and increase in total races demonstrates our mission and intent to continually grow the series in key markets, while racing at Miami’s International Autodrome takes our US presence to another level at a world-class facility. As we continue to see year-on-year growth of our global fanbase and TV audiences, this calendar is certain to deliver even more exciting racing from our top tier drivers and teams for our fans to get behind.”
Alberto Longo, Co-Founder & Chief Championship Officer, Formula E, said: “We’re incredibly proud of the global footprint we’ve built for our 12th season, covering 2025-26. With at least two fantastic new circuits joining the impressive roster, including what will be a home race for myself in Madrid that has long been a goal of mine, we’re enhancing the diversity of what fans can expect while staying true to our DNA with a blend of city street and built circuit venues.
“It is what makes our racing so exciting and compelling to watch. We’ve carefully curated each leg to minimise our freight, improve sustainability and give fans across the world even more opportunity to tune in and watch no matter the time zone, thanks to our fantastic roster of broadcast partners”
Marek Nawarecki, Director, FIA Circuit Sport Department, said: “The Season 12 calendar provides a world-class platform to showcase Formula E at its very best whilst offering a balanced presence in different regions, especially in those where the EV industry is developing.
“With an excellent mix of new circuit venues and returning street racing classics, fans can expect an action-packed season that reflects Formula E’s continued growth and innovation in electric motorsport. The variety of track layouts will also ensure diversified race scenarios with the GEN3 Evo race car.”
WMSC decision: The Council members also approved the technical regulations for the next generation of cars (GEN4), set to be introduced in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship from the 2026-2027 season onwards.
Designed under the leadership of the FIA, in partnership with Formula E and single suppliers (Spark for the chassis, Podium Advanced Technologies and Bridgestone for the tyres), the GEN4 car will be another game changer in terms of performance.
Featuring two different aero configurations with high and low downforce, as well as permanent all-wheel drive, the fourth generation of the all-electric single seater will also see an increase of its maximum power output from 350kW to 600kW whilst its regeneration capability will reach 700kW (from 600kW currently).
Nissan –
Nissan Formula E Team’s Reserve and Simulator Driver Sérgio Sette Câmara will make his maiden race appearance for the squad at the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship Berlin E-Prix on 12-13 July, filling in for Norman Nato, who will be absent due to his World Endurance Championship commitments.
An experienced Formula E driver, Sette Câmara has 66 races on his CV since he made his series debut in 2020. The 27-year-old joined Nissan Formula E Team ahead of Season 11, and has been working in the team’s simulator and development car throughout the campaign so far.
The event will mark Sette Câmara’s first official outing for the squad in the Nissan e-4ORCE 05. He will be looking to help the team continue its excellent form so far this season, which sees the outfit sit second in the Teams’ Championship, with Nissan currently topping the Manufacturers’ Standings with five rounds to go.
Tommaso Volpe, managing director and team principal, Nissan Formula E Team: “It’s a shame Norman can’t be with us in Berlin, but we’re delighted to have Sérgio stepping in. Sérgio’s extensive experience in Formula E and his time with the team this season make him the best-placed driver to step in and take on this challenge. Formula E is a unique series and, as we’ve seen in the championship in recent seasons, it can be difficult for drivers to come in and immediately be on the pace due to the specificities of the cars, tires and energy management. However, we are confident we have the best man for the job and look forward to seeing what he can do on track in Berlin.”
Sérgio Sette Câmara: “I’m excited to race for the Nissan Formula E Team in Berlin. It’s a good opportunity for me to step into one of the leading cars in the championship, something I haven’t experienced before in this series, and I feel ready to give my all. Even in my role as reserve driver, it’s been a pleasure to be part of a team with such a strong, winning mentality. The environment at Nissan is one that pushes you to grow, and just being around it is motivating. Being back on the grid is special, but doing it with Nissan does make it more meaningful.
“In regards to the race itself, there are a number of firsts I’ll have to face in Berlin. The pit-boost and the all-wheel-drive system introduced for GEN3 EVO car are a couple of them, as well as the new softer tire spec, but I’ll do plenty of laps on the simulator and try to arrive as prepared as I possibly can. I’m also really keen to team up with Oli, he’s a driver I’ve always admired for his speed and he’s proven that so far this year with his incredible performances. It’s a great chance for me to learn from him, we get on well and I’m confident we will work together strongly in Berlin.”
