What is “Formula E Change. Accelerated.Live” Tokyo?
Formula E Tokyo is Japan’s first public road racing world championship, made possible by the fact that electric vehicles emit no exhaust gas and make no noise. On March 30, 2024, Ariake will become a circuit for one day. Please come and enjoy the high-speed battle of the world’s most advanced EVs.
