Formula E has confirmed that
round nine of the FIA Formula E Championship will not take place in Moscow on
June 4, 2016. Together with the local authorities, Formula E has taken the
decision not to race in the Russian capital due to recent and unforeseen
circumstances related to road closures.
“While it is unfortunate news
not to race in Moscow on June 4, we looked at a number of alternative options
as a replacement but were not able to find a viable solution on that specific date,”
said Formula E CEO Alejandro Agag.
“We explored all possibilities
including returning to Monaco, but regrettably couldn’t organise the change of venue
on such short notice. I’d like to express my thanks to HSH Prince Albert II of
Monaco, Mr. Michel Boeri, and the Automobile Club de Monaco who did their
utmost to see Formula E return to the streets of the Principality for season
two. We will now focus on the three remaining races in Berlin and the
double-header in London, which I’m sure will deliver a thrilling conclusion in
the battle for the championship,” he added.
