Formula E planning more ‘winter races’ to shorten calendar gap

Formula E is hoping to introduce more races during the winter period which it says will shorten, or even do away with the calendar gap which has been a feature of the opening three seasons.

The current 2016/17 calendar has a three-month gap between race two and three in Morocco and Buenos Aires respectively, which means fans begin to lose interest and it opens up a greater chance of clashes with other series, such as Formula 1 and World Endurance Championship.

However series boss Alejandro Agag says they are planning on starting later, removing or at least reducing the calendar gap and then ending the season sooner, so it's more active during the winter, when other series aren't.

"It will be much better in terms of the break, which is too long," he told the official Formula E website.

"We are looking at perhaps starting later next year, and we definitely want to add events during the winter period. So races in January, races in February, races in March.

"These months, which is also when other championships are not on, is where we really need to fill the calendar.

"It’s looking better for next season, we have different options for cities that we are working on now and we hope to have something to present to the WMSC in March."

However Agag says he isn't bothered by the clashes with other racing series, despite some of FE's 'star' drivers being forced to miss events due to other commitments.

"I think the [current] season is going to be fascinating. I’m not really worried about the clashes – I think it’s good to have new drivers coming in and that can give a bit more intrigue to the championship.

"I think the season ahead of us is going to be as exciting, if not more exciting than season one and two."
