The 1.967-mile Portland International Raceway circuit also hosts the NTT IndyCar Series in September. The Portland Formula E race will be Round 12 of a 16-race season that begins on Jan. 14 in Mexico City.Portland's place on the schedule was given preliminary approval by the FIA World Motor Sport Council today in Italy. Portland will become the fourth U.S. city to host Formula E, joining New York , Long Beach and Miami .
"We are excited to bring the premier electric motorsport world championship to Portland for the first time in June next year," said Alberto Longo, co-founder and chief operating officer of Formula E, in a press release."There is a big, passionate fanbase for professional sports in the city, together with strong ecological credentials which makes Portland a perfect host for the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
“The USA remains an important market for Formula E. We are delighted to maintain that critical presence and engage a new audience in the Pacific Northwest region in all-electric motorsport.” The race in Portland will feature the series' Gen3 race car. New for Season 9, the Gen3 is the third generation of race car in Formula E. The new car is being billed as the most powerful and efficient Formula E car to date, with top-end speeds approaching 200 mph.
