Saudi Arabia sets to host Formula E’s first night race
Saudi Arabia has disclosed plan to host Formula E’s first ever night race with a double-header in Diriyah next February.
This was disclosed on Tuesday November 24, 2020, by the all-electric series.
Organizers said, “Low consumption LED floodlights would be powered by fully renewable energy, using low-carbon certified hydrogenated vegetable oil made from sustainable materials.”
Diriyah has hosted Formula E since 2018 and next year’s races will be the third and fourth in a championship that starts in Chile.
Saudi Arabia is also due to host a Formula One race for the first time next year and that will also be at night, in Jeddah in November.
