No sooner is the Hankook Mexico City E-Prix over, than Hankook and Formula E are back in action in the desert state of Saudi Arabia. The first double-header of the season on 27th and 28th January sees the drivers in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship line up at the Diriyah street circuit, which takes them around the historic city walls and is located on the outskirts of the capital Riyadh. Both races will take place in the evening under floodlights and promise to be an extraordinary experience for the drivers and fans. Big differences in temperature between the day and night, desert sand and the narrow circuit, which features a total of 21 corners, pose major challenges for the new Hankook iON Race. Diriyah is hosting a Formula E race for the fifth time.
