Welcome to It Only Takes E Minute, where Formula E welcomes back a familiar track to the season lineup.
There’s been a hole in the Formula E calendar since Brazil unfortunately had to withdraw from hosting duties in March next year, and now the barely kept secret of Uruguay stepping up to fill that gap has been confirmed.
The Punta del Este track will take up hosting duties of the sixth round of the 2017/18 season on 17th March, as agreed by the FIA’s World Motor Sport Council today. It’s still subject to a couple of sign-offs and the circuit being homologated but for all intents and purposes, it is going ahead.
Formula E chief, Alejandro Agag, admitted they always had Uruguay in reserve as soon as the issues with Brazil arose, and it’s merely been a matter of waiting for the FIA to get together and approve it.
The track is a popular one, loved by drivers and fans alike, slicing up and down the Punta del Este harbour and beachfront. The event has been held twice, in the first and second Formula E seasons, but it disappeared off the calendar last year as it was impossible to reach an agreement between organisers and the government.

This is It Only Takes E-Minute, where Audi have gone back and read the rule book properly.
Daniel Abt crossed the finish line first for the second race of the Hong Kong double header, but his victory was snatched away from him when the FIA disqualified the driver. The reason for the DQ was an issue with the barcodes on the car not matching with the FIA’s technical passport.
Audi originally stated their intention to appeal this decision, hoping to re-instate Abt’s victory and keep the trophy that he picked up on the podium. However, the team have now confirmed they won’t be going ahead with the appeal letting the results stand instead.
Team principal Allan McNish said: “We gained no advantage as a result of the administrative error and all parts fully complied to homologation and the technical regulations at all times. Still, we accept the decision of the FIA and fully back the technical passport regulations.”
With the matter settled, Felix Rosenqvist keeps his race win and Sam Bird keeps hold of the championship lead after the first two races, sitting on 35 points to Jean-Éric Vergne’s second place with 33.
