The ABB FIA Formula E Championship will continue to race on the streets of Paris following a three-year extension to hold a race in the French capital.
The all-electric single seater series will race in Paris for the fourth time later this month, with the fresh deal commencing from 2020, meaning that Formula E will continue to race in the city until the end of the 2021/22 season.
“We have made a decision in the latest meeting to extend Formula E for another three years,” said Alejandro Agag, Chairman of Formula E.
“From this year onwards, we’ve got four years of guaranteed Formula E in Paris.
“It really is great news. I’d like to thank Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo, the whole team from the city of Paris and all departments of the French state, which help us a lot.”
Making its debut in 2016, the Paris E-Prix has been present on the Formula E calendar since the series' second season, becoming a popular venue for the street racing championship with Jean-Eric Vergne being the most recent driver to stand on the top step of the podium at the 2018 event.
The 2019 running of the Paris E-Prix will take place on April 27 as the second round of Formula E's pending European leg of Season Five while the Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY will also compete at the Les Invalides circuit.
