2024 Misano ePrix

The 2024 Misano ePrix was a pair of motor races, the sixth and seventh rounds of the 2023–24 Formula E World Championship, held on 13 and 14 April 2024. It was the first and only running of the Misano ePrix, an event held around the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, replacing the Rome ePrix on the Formula E calendar.

Background

History

Formula E has raced in Italy since 2018 with the Rome ePrix taking place at the Circuito Cittadino dell'EUR. However, following a review by experts following a multi-car pile up crash in the 2023 edition, it was decided that a new Italian venue should be found. Multiple other tracks were considered by Formula E, such as Imola Circuit and Vallelunga Circuit.

On 22 November 2023, it was announced that the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli would host the new Italian race in the 2023–24 season, with a double-header weekend.

Circuit

On 23 February 2024, it was announced that a specific layout would be built and used for the Formula E race, in which the layout will have 3.381 km (2.101 mi) length and 14 turns.

Championship standings

Pascal Wehrlein enters the ePrix weekend as the leader in the Drivers' Championship with a two point lead over Nick Cassidy, followed by Oliver Rowland (nine points behind) and defending champion Jake Dennis (10 points behind).

Prior to the race, Jaguar hold a 17 point lead over Porsche in the Teams' Championship, with Andretti in third and Nissan in fourth. In the Manufacturers' Trophy, Jaguar hold a seven point lead over Porsche, with Nissan in third.
