Formula E starts European swing in Rome

After traveling to the Far East, Africa, and the Americas, the Formula E roadshow starts a four-race European swing this weekend, with the inaugural Rome E-Prix on Saturday.

The Track

At 2.84km (1.7 miles), the Cittadino dell'EUR is one of the longest circuits on the calendar -- shorter only than Marrakech -- and features 21 corners.

The start/finish line is located on Via Cristoforo Colombo, the longest district road in Italy, from where the drivers are taken around the Obelisco di Marconi, with the Colosseo Quadrato in the background.
