Tokyo street circuit

The Tokyo Street Circuit is a street circuit located around the Tokyo International Exhibition Centre in the Japanese capital that hosts the Tokyo ePrix, a round of the Formula E electric formula racing series.

History

The Tokyo Street Circuit was unveiled on October 25, 2023, representing the first time the electric category will compete in Japan. The event has been seen as a way to achieve the city's goal of ensuring that all new cars are gasoline-free by 2030, with city governor Yuriko Koike stating that "the championships will provide impetus to spread the zero-emission vehicles." The circuit takes places around the Tokyo Big Sight convention center.
