FormulaE is considering a new venue in the US for 2023 due to development work being carried on at the Brooklyn Street Circuit site in New York.
The championship's first official draft of its calendar for the first season run to Gen3 rules was unveiled on 29 June,Of note was the omission of the New York E-Prix, which has been largely ever-present on the Formula E calendar barring its COVID-enforced hiatus in 2020. The circuit sits in the Red Hook neighbourhood - next to the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal.
"In New York, we've historically had good races there, you've got the backdrop of Manhattan, but we're really hemmed in," Formula E CEO Jamie Reigle told Motorsport.com. "I'd love to try to find a way to make it work in Brooklyn. If it doesn't work there, there's other sites around New York. So we're looking at that, and other cities like Los Angeles.
He said that there was"no anxiety or concern" about the race in South Africa, but that Formula E was willing to be cautious and fill the slot with a TBC to avoid similar issues to the Vancouver round.
