Formula E drops South Africa and China in calendar update

An updated calendar for the 2022 Formula E season has replaced rounds in South Africa and China with double-headers for Berlin and Rome.

The World Motor Sport Council has ratified a revised calendar for season 8 of the all-electric championship.

The largest-ever calendar for Formula E will take in 16 races, with new races in Vancouver, Jakarta, and Seoul.

“The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship 2021/22 calendar is our most extensive to date and we look forward to working alongside all our host cities to deliver 16 world class races,” said Alberto Longo, Chief Championship Officer and Co-Founder, Formula E.

"The Season 8 lineup of drivers is arguably the strongest we’ve seen, and the revised sporting regulations will provide a renewed and strengthened sporting platform."
