Two new venues are likely

“We are discussing with a couple of venues in the Middle East and some other venues in Asia and some new venues in Europe. We don’t want to make a revolution of the calendar year on year. But maybe two new venues are likely,” said Alejandro Agag, CEO of Formula E.

;

“Next season we will try to start in October and to finish in July, again with Beijing as a host of the first race. Weather there gets difficult later on,” added Agag talking to Autosport.

It is believed that 2016/2017 Formula E  provisional calendar will be released in late March. Hong Kong almost surely will host ePrix next season, while Montreal and Australia were also mentioned earlier as a possible destinations.
