MONACO (March 28 2015) - There will be free entry for fans to the Monaco ePrix - round sevenof the FIA Formula E Championship - which takes place on May 9.
The 12-turn, 2.76km layout for the race was revealed today. It is a shortened version of thehistoric circuit of the Principality, which has been hosting motor races since 1929.
The revised layout uses the same start-finish line and pit complex but rather than continue upthe hill to Casino Square the cars will take a sharp turn at Sainte Devote and re-join at the exit ofthe tunnel. The modified track remains subject to FIA approval and track homologation.
Trulli driver and Monaco Grand Prix race winner Jarno Trulli said: "I think it's a reasonably goodtrack and obviously the location is fantastic. It takes in half of the Formula 1 circuit, which isenough for the Formula E car and I'm sure it's going to be good for overtaking. You can see thatgoing down into the first corner there is a hairpin, then we head rearwards down towards thetunnel, where there is another hard braking with a possible overtaking point. From there youhead back towards Tabac and the Swimming Pool corners, which in Formula 1 were very excitingand challenging. In Formula E cars they will be slightly easier, but nevertheless still a challenge,especially the exit of the Swimming Pool, which is going to be pretty slippery."The next Formula E race takes place in Long Beach, USA on April 4.
