Middle Eastern nations are capable of holding more FIAFormulaE races, according to the promoter of the Saudi Arabian E-Prix. Story:
Saudi Arabia has been on the Formula E calendar since 2018, holding races on the Riyadh Street Circuit - named in deference to the nation's capital on which Diriyah sits on the outskirts.
Boutagy, CEO and founder of promotion company CBX, says that the appetite for Formula E is growing in the region - particularly as many of the oil firms and investment funds based in the area are planning to diversify their interests in line with global interests for more sustainable forms of propulsion.
"I think the more motorsport there is in the region, the better it is for all of us, whether it’s F1 or WEC or Dakar or Formula E. I think this region could host another one or two Formula E races," he said.
