Formula E schedules six races in nine days to finish season

The all-electric Formula E series will hold six races in nine days at Berlin's former Tempelhof airport in order to finish a season interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, organisers said on Wednesday.

All the races, on Aug. 5-6, 8-9 and 12-13, will be held without spectators.

"We're heading to Berlin Tempelhof, a venue that our teams, drivers and fans love, to stage a nine-day festival of racing with three back-to-back double-headers," said Formula E chief executive Jamie Reigle in a statement.

"The festival will feature three track layouts, presenting a new challenge and creating the conditions for an unpredictable and drama-filled climax to our season.
