2020 Marrakesh ePrix


The 2020 Marrakesh ePrix was a Formula E electric car race to be held at Circuit International Automobile Moulay El Hassan in Marrakesh on 29 February 2020. The race was a replacement for the 2020 Hong Kong ePrix, which was cancelled due to pro-democracy protests.

Report

Background

On 15 June 2019, Formula E announced the provisional calendar for the 2019–20 season, in which Marrakesh was not included. The final calendar, which was revealed in October, saw multiple date changes with Marrakesh coming in to replace Hong Kong. Marrakesh would also host the third annual rookie test a day after the event, where each team got to nominate two drivers who have not officially competed in the series.

Schedule changes

Free Practice 1 was moved to Friday afternoon due to late sunrise in the location. A typical early-in-the-morning Saturday start proved to be a bad decision for last year's event, which caused low visibility during the first practice session.

Rookie Test

The traditional rookie test took place the day after the race.
