The Formula E world championship is breaking new ground this season with a double-header held at night in the Japanese capital.
The 2.58km street circuit, featuring 18 corners and fully floodlit, offers a unique spectacle but also poses a real challenge for the drivers. “At night, and if it rains on top of that, it could get very tricky,” said Taylor Barnard ahead of practice, having secured a podium finish here in 2025. “But the track is really cool; it’s almost surreal to race through the streets of such a megacity, especially for someone like me who’s a fan of video games.”
