Monaco E‑Prix uses 3.337 km GP circuit

The Automobile Club de Monaco said on May 15 that Formula E will race this weekend on the full Monaco Grand Prix circuit, using the 3.337-km layout for the championship’s latest double-header. Formula E’s official race centre lists Round 9 for Saturday, May 16, and Round 10 for Sunday, May 17, on a 19-turn version of the Circuit de Monaco. Organisers are also using the weekend to stage technology and fan-facing events around the current GEN3 Evo cars and the incoming GEN4 machine. The Monaco stop is the second straight season in which Formula E has run two races in the principality. ### Which Monaco layout is Formula E using this weekend? Formula E’s Monaco race centre says the series returns on the “legendary 3.337 km, 19-turn layout,” the same full circuit that includes Beau Rivage, Casino Square, the Grand Hotel Hairpin, the tunnel and the Swimming Pool section. The Automobile Club de Monaco also describes the event as taking place on the “legendary streets of Monte-Carlo,” with racing on Saturday and Sunday. (acm.mc) The 3.337-km figure matters because Monaco has not always used the full grand prix-style route for Formula E. Formula E’s own event page now presents the circuit as the standard venue for this year’s double-header, and the official ticketing page says the races will take place on May 16 and May 17, 2026. ### When are the two Monaco races scheduled? (fiaformulae.com) Formula E’s event information page lists Round 9 and Round 10 across May 16-17, 2026. The race centre shows Free Practice 1 on May 15, then qualifying and the first race on May 16, with the second race following on May 17. The Automobile Club de Monaco said this week that “the 10th and 11th editions of the Monaco E-Prix” will be held on Saturday and Sunday, with 20 GEN3 Evo single-seaters on track. (fiaformulae.com) That wording reflects Formula E’s practice of counting each race day in a double-header as a separate E-Prix. ### What are organisers showing off beyond the races? The Automobile Club de Monaco said in a May 14 post that the principality is hosting “community engagement activities, social impact initiatives, and technology showcases” alongside the two races. (fiaformulae.com) The club said those activities are tied to the performance evolution of Formula E cars, from GEN1 through GEN3 Evo. (acm.mc) ACM said the current GEN3 Evo car accelerates from 0-100 kph in 1.8 seconds and uses all-wheel drive during qualifying, race starts and Attack Mode. Formula E has separately described GEN3 Evo as the fastest-accelerating FIA single-seater, with 0-60 mph in 1.82 seconds and an estimated qualifying-lap gain of about two seconds in Monaco compared with the prior GEN3 car. (acm.mc) ### What fan and community events are attached to the weekend? Formula E’s spectator guide says the Fan Village will host autograph sessions, meet-and-greets, a gaming arena, live music and a “Big Green Quiz powered by Envision.” The event information page says the Fan Village includes simulators, a kids’ zone and food outlets, while ACM says the public area is on Quai Antoine 1er. (acm.mc) ACM said local students, associations and young women aged 12 to 18 were invited to see the paddock and motorsport careers from the inside. The club said Lucas di Grassi, James Rossiter and Nerea Martí took part in school visits in Monaco during race week. ### Is there also a look at Formula E’s next car? ACM said the GEN4 car will appear on track on Sunday, May 17 at 9:25 a.m., driven by David Coulthard. (fiaformulae.com) The club said GEN4 will become “the fastest single-seater in the history of the series,” with 600 kW in qualifying and Attack Mode and 450 kW in race trim. Formula E’s official Monaco program also lists Sunday qualifying, the second race at 15:05 local time and podium celebrations at 16:00. (acm.mc) That leaves the weekend as both a championship round and a public demonstration window for Formula E’s current and next-generation cars in Monaco. (fiaformulae.com)
