Circuito Cittadino dell’EUR – Rome Street Circuit

About

Circuito Cittadino dell’EUR made a successful debut on the Formula E calendar in 2018 and is rumoured to have a long-term agreement to stage electric racing in the Italian capital.

Held at the Circuito Cittadino dell’EUR temporary street circuit located in the EUR district of Rome, the race features grand views of major landmarks in the business district such as the Obelisco di Marconi and the Colosseo Quadrato.

Already one of the longest circuits on the calendar, the layout was extended to 3.380km for the 2021 race, making it the longest track on the schedule. The circuit is notorious for its undulating features. With 19 turns going through downhill areas, the track is one of the bumpiest, posing a different sort of challenge for the drivers and teams to try and manage the car’s energy levels. Virgin Racing’s Sam Bird was the first ever Rome E-Prix race winner in 2018, with Mitch Evans, Jean-Eric Vergne and Stoffel Vandoorne having since joined the event’s winners list.

Rome is not unfamiliar with street racing and has hosted plenty of other series before Formula E made its debut there. The nearby streets of the EUR district was even host to the Rome Grand Prix in the 1920s and 1930s.

The 2020 Rome E-Prix was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, while the 2021 double-header event was held behind closed doors. Fans returned for the 2022 Rome E-Prix, which was once again a double header event.
