Formula E could be set for a season three finale on the streets of New York if series CEO Alejandro Agag's plan for a race in the American city comes together.
The all-electric racing series has already done what Formula 1 found impossible to achieve – a race in central London. Now Formula E is eyeing a race in New York – something F1 came close to achieving in 2013 before plans fell apart due to financial concerns.
Agag admitted he is currently working on getting the North American city on the calendar and believes it could happen as soon as next season: "I'm actively working on a plan to race there," he told Autosport.
"I can place the race at the end of season three, maybe. It will be difficult but it's not totally impossible we will do it in season three."
Currently the calendar stands at 11 events, but plans are afoot to add more races in Asia, a race in Canada and Australia. That would see the calendar exceeding a self-imposed limit of 12, therefore it's likely some cities will have to be dropped.
It's expected London will host just one race – pending planning permission – rather than two, whilst Agag admitted Uruguay's Punta del Este is a likely candidate to be dropped.
"One or two might fall out – Punta it's not clear we're going to continue, unfortunately," he added. [It's] the main candidate [to be dropped]."
