Formula E returned to Sanya for the first time since March 2019. On the championship’s previous visit to this street circuit, DS Automobiles had claimed victory. Six years later, the French manufacturer returned to Hainan Island as the most recent winner, now teaming up with its partner Penske Autosport.
Situated at the southern tip of the island, Sanya is a popular seaside resort which, for the occasion, hosted a temporary 2.52 km circuit featuring 12 corners. Whilst Formula E was already familiar with the venue, this round marked the first appearance of the Gen3 Evo single-seaters on this circuit – and therefore the debut of the DS E-Tense FE25s.
