Move over Formula 1, we've got a new racer in town! Last year Formula E, the global all-electric racing circuit, made history on the streets of Brooklyn. Hundreds of concrete barriers constructed a 1.21-mile track on the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal. The NYC ePrix offered racing fans their first glimpse into this new sport taking the racing world by storm.

This year, the Formula E team is back at it, hosting its final championship race of the season back in Brooklyn on July 14th and 15th.

Frenchman, Jean-Eric Vergne, leads the Driver's Championship points chase after the Rome ePrix with Sam Bird in striking distance after his win in Rome. With 5 rounds left, we wouldn't be surprised if it came down to the NYC ePrix double header to crown this year's Formula E champion. The next round takes points leader JEV to his home turf in the Paris ePrix.

We're excited to share that RPM Raceway will be partnering with Formula E in a number of ways.

• Official Viewing Parties- Join us as we tune in to Formula E races on the TV's throughout our track locations paired with some sweet racing discounts and a chance to win a pair of tickets to the NYC ePrix (at select RPM locations).

With the new Gen2 Formula E car and new entrants Nissan and BMW debuting next season (Porsche and Mercedes joining FE in season 6), the future development of sustainable mobility looks promising and incredibly exciting.
