The Monaco Circuit: Heritage Meets Innovation
Maintaining its historic layout, first established in 1929, the Monaco E-Prix circuit remains a true test of driver skill and precision. Spanning 3.337 km with 19 technical turns, the circuit navigates through world-renowned landmarks such as Casino Square, Mirabeau, and the famed Monaco tunnel, culminating in high-speed action along the picturesque harbourfront.
The introduction of the GEN3 Evo cars adds an extra layer of excitement, as advancements in electric vehicle technology meet the challenges of one of motorsport’s most revered circuits.
Sustainability and Social Impact at the Forefront
Formula E continues to lead the way in sustainability, with the Monaco E-Prix serving as a flagship event for environmental and social initiatives. The 2025 race will feature a renewable energy mix, emphasising the championship’s dedication to reducing its carbon footprint.
Key programmes include the FIA Girls on Track initiative, which will engage up to 250 young women through workshops, E-Karting sessions, and career talks, promoting gender equality and diversity within motorsport. Additionally, the Championship’s partnership with Monaco-based non-profit ‘SheCanHeCan’ aligns with broader efforts to foster inclusive and sustainable growth in the sport.
