Mexico City E-Prix 2023 Guide

This weekend will finally see the start of the new Formula E season and with it the start of the Gen3 era. Many new things await us this season, including the location of the first race: Mexico City.

Mexico City is opening the season for the very first time, and with that comes a certain responsibility.

Track information:

The Mexico E-Prix circuit (Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez Circuit) is 2.26km/1.6 miles long and has a race distance of nearly 59 miles. 41 laps are driven.

The Mexico E-Prix has been held since 2016 and has been raced every year since then (except 2021 due to Covid 19). The driver who has won the most times on this circuit is Lucas di Grassi with 2 wins.

Arrival:

It is probably easiest to reach the route by public transport, as there are several stations next to the route:

- "Ciudad Deportiva" (Line 9)

- "Velodromo station" (Line 9)

- "Puebla Station" (Line 9)

Parking your car at the track will also be possible, but not for free.

Payment:

All purchases must be made with a card. You cannot pay with cash.

Autograph Session and Pit Lane Walk:

To take part in the autograph session and the associated Pitlane Walk you need a wristband, which you can pick up at the Infopoint in the Allianz Fan Village. This is possible from 7:00 in the morning (first-come, first-serve).
