International ePrix Formula E Car Championship coming to Brooklyn expected to draw thousands
July 15 and 16 in Red Hook
They’re competing on the streets of Hong Kong, Marrakesh, Buenos Aires, Monaco and Paris.
And on July 15 and 16, the ninth and tenth leg of the ePrix Formula E car racing championship will come to Red Hook for an international event that will bring motorsports to New York City for the first time.
The FIA-sanctioned ePrix is the world’s first fully electric, single-seater racing series, fitting in, Mayor de Blasio said, with the city’s role as a nexus of technology, sustainability and commerce. Ten teams and 20 drivers have been racing their way across five continents.
