Formula E is heading to Japan this weekend for the inaugural Tokyo E-Prix, and the electric open-wheel racing series is ready to tear the streets with a 22-driver grid from 11 teams. The home team Nissan has been appointed as the official local partner aligning with the brand’s carbon-neutrality goals in motorsports.

Formula E cofounder Alberto Longo expressed that “partnering with Nissan not only enhances this landmark event but also amplifies our shared vision for a sustainable future and an electrifying fan experience.”

Nissan Formula E Team principal Tommaso Volpe stated that this collaboration is “more than a race; it’s a celebration of innovation and sustainability that resonates with our vision for a cleaner, more exciting future.”

The Yokohama-based manufacturer will be surrounding the area of Tokyo Big Sight, where the qualifying and the race will be held on March 30.
