Monaco E-Prix

The Monaco E-Prix is an annual motor racing event that forms part of the FIA Formula E World Championship, a series dedicated to fully electric single-seater racing. Held on the streets of Monte Carlo, the race follows a modified version of the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix circuit, incorporating many of its iconic features such as the Fairmont Hairpin, the Tunnel, and the tight Casino Square section.

First introduced in the 2014–2015 Formula E season, the Monaco E-Prix occurs biennially in the early years before becoming an annual fixture. The event highlights the advancements in electric vehicle technology while maintaining the Principality’s esteemed racing tradition. As one of the shortest circuits on the Formula E calendar, it demands high energy efficiency and precise driving due to its narrow layout and challenging elevation changes.

Historically, Monaco has been synonymous with motorsport since the inaugural Monaco Grand Prix in 1929, and the Formula E iteration continues this legacy in a sustainable format. The race regularly attracts leading manufacturers and drivers, contributing to the development of environmentally friendly automotive innovation. With its setting amid the city-state’s harbor and historic streets, the Monaco E-Prix bridges modern electric racing with the principality’s deep-rooted connection to motorsport excellence.
