After races in Hong Kong and Marrakesh opened the 2017/18 Formula E season in style, new ground will be broken this weekend when the all-electric series stops in the Chilean capital of Santiago.
Not only is the Santiago E-Prix the maiden race of its kind in the area, it will also be the first instance of single-seater racing in the city since the 1950 Chilean Grand Prix, when Juan Manuel Fangio took the chequered flag.
The Track
Likened to the circuit layouts used in Montreal and Berlin in previous seasons, the surface used on the Parque Forestal Ciudad De Santiago features smooth but cracked asphalt, as was the case in Buenos Aires and Paris.
