  • The Formula E electric racing championship will feature a double-header event at the Circuito del Jarama in Madrid in June 2027.
  • This marks the circuit's consolidation in the Formula E calendar after a successful debut season.
  • The event will also host pre-season testing for the new GEN4 car, expected to revolutionize the competition.

The Circuito del Jarama in Madrid is set to solidify its place on the Formula E calendar with a groundbreaking double-header event scheduled for June 26-27, 2027. Following the success of its inaugural E-Prix this past season, the Spanish circuit will host the electric racing championship for a second consecutive year. This expanded presence culminates in two races, closing out the European leg of the 2026-2027 season. Unlike the single race held in March 2026, the 2027 event will take place in the summer, prompting considerations for schedule adjustments to mitigate potential high temperatures, possibly shifting races to the afternoon or evening. The Jarama circuit will also serve as the venue for official pre-season testing from November 16-20, where teams will debut the highly anticipated GEN4 car. This new generation of cars is expected to bring significant advancements to the sport. "The Circuito de Madrid Jarama-RACE perfectly complements our incredible new GEN4 technology, with technical and high-speed sectors designed to showcase the performance and overtaking capability of these cars," stated Alberto Longo, co-founder and CEO of Formula E. Ignacio Fernรกndez, director of the Circuito Madrid Jarama-RACE, views the continued inclusion as a testament to the circuit's capability in hosting top-tier international events. The introduction of the GEN4 cars, featuring all-wheel drive, rapid acceleration, and recyclable components, will coincide with a new 'E-Prix Unleashed' sprint race format for double-header weekends, promising a more dynamic and faster spectacle.
