Challenging for us to return to India in 2025: Formula E CEO

Hindustan Times  

Indian motorsport enthusiasts were hopeful of Formula E returning to India next year after the 2024 Hyderabad E-Prix was cancelled but CEO of the electric car racing series Jeff Dodds said that the chances of a race in 2025 are unlikely. Jay Penske celebrates on podium during the Hyderabad E-Prix last year "It's very realistic that Formula E returns to India because we've got live conversations with various locations. Formula E debuted in India with much fanfare in February 2023 with the Hyderabad E-Prix, but the series announced in January that it had cancelled the race this year over alleged "breach of contract" by the Telangana government. We would look at whether we would prefer to build a street circuit in a city in India or whether there's an existing circuit we think works well for our race cars and series, we would consider it," said Dodds, not ruling out racing on a purpose-built circuit in India.
