On May 8, the players in the international Formula E championship will meet in the Principality of Monaco for the seventh round of the season. For the first time in their history, the electric single-seaters will take a new route, that of the Formula 1 Grand Prix. Unlike previous editions where the competitors turned at right angles at Sainte Dévote, at the end of the pit straight, to take the direction of the port, this year, the single-seaters will therefore launch an assault on the hill of Sainte Dévote, before negotiating the Massenet bend conditioning the passage to the Place du Casino. In total, the 3.32 km long F1 track includes 19 turns including the famous Fairmont Hotel hairpin (ex Loews), the Portier right where Ayrton Senna hit the rail in 1988 when he had won the race, and the tunnel. Then,Formula E single-seaters will find their way back to the seaside, notably with the S de la Piscine, which they use every two years. If the increase in performance of GEN2 single-seaters allows championship drivers to do battle on the F1 circuit, they will nevertheless have to manage the autonomy of their cars. The Monaco track, alternating up and down, represents a new challenge in terms of energy management. Sebastien Buemi is the most successful driver in Monaco with two victories in the Monaco e-Prix.The Monaco track, alternating up and down, represents a new challenge in terms of energy management.
