Formula E might be on its way to India after it was revealed that the FIA is considering a race in the country. Although details are still a bit sketchy at the moment, the event is likely to be held in 2018. At the moment, the Formula E electric car racing series calendar makes its way through cities in Asia, the Americas, and Europe.
A street race in India is being planned, with Delhi, Mumbai or Bangalore the cities under consideration. In fact, talks have already begun with government and local bodies of these cities on the feasibility of hosting such a race. The Indian Home Ministry too is working on the clearances required for the potential event.
Mahindra Racing, which owns a team in the Formula E Championship, has been lobbying for a race in India for quite some time now and, from the looks of it, the event will eventually take place in the country in 2018. The only team from India to participate in this championship, Mahindra Racing's drivers this season are Bruno Senna, Nick Heidfeld, and Oliver Rowland.
Sanctioned by the FIA, the Formula E Championship is the highest class of competition for electrically-powered racing cars. The second iteration of the series is currently underway, with the 2015-16 season being held from October 24, 2015 to July 3, 2016. This season is made up of 9 teams battling it out through the course of a 11-race calendar.
