20 world-class drivers will unleash the GEN3 Evo machines at the Tempelhof track once again, as the electric single-seater championship returns to the German capital for the twelfth consecutive year.
With over a decade of racing history in Berlin, the grid of 20 drivers will be looking to recreate the excitement of the past 20 races in the German capital. They once again return to the Tempelhof Airport Street Circuit, with a 2.345km 15-turn layout awaiting them for Season 2025/26.
Berlin is the longest-serving city destination on the Formula E calendar, having hosted a race in every season of Formula E. In all but one of those seasons - the 2015/16 Season, when the German round took place near Alexanderplatz - Tempelhofer Feld has been the host venue.
Made up of repeating concrete slabs, the bumpy Tempelhof Airport track means higher than usual degradation for the Hankook tyres, and high grip takes a toll on energy management, making race strategies a challenge, but providing among the best racing action on the calendar.
The 2026 Hankook Berlin E-Prix starts at 16:05 local time (14:05 UTC) on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3 May.
António Félix Da Costa, No.13, Jaguar TCS Racing, said:
“It’s been a special run of races for me, and I’m really proud of what we’ve achieved together as a team. Back‑to‑back wins don’t happen without everyone pulling in the same direction, and that’s exactly the environment we have right now. Berlin is a place I’ve always enjoyed racing, and coming in with this momentum just adds to the excitement. We’re fully focused on the championship, and I’m ready to fight for another strong result.”
Pascal Wehrlein, No.94 , Porsche Formula E Team, said:
“Naturally, I’m really looking forward to the home race in Berlin and the support of the many German fans, as well as my family and friends, who will be at the track. On top of that, we’ll be celebrating 75 years of Porsche Motorsport in Berlin – including plenty of historic Porsche race cars in the Fan Village and on track. So, we’re particularly keen to perform well at the Tempelhof circuit.”
TEMPELHOF’S ABB FIA FORMULA E WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP LEGACY
The all-electric championship returns to its most visited venue: the Tempelhof Airport Street Circuit. With over 20 races in the German capital, Berlin remains the only city to have appeared on every Formula E season’s calendar.
Apart from a brief stint at Alexanderplatz in Season 2, the former airport has been a consistent feature every season and brings with it a mix of challenges. The abrasive concrete slabs that once hosted huge airliners result in high tyre degradation, and complex energy management demands make Berlin one of the most tactical events on the schedule.
There have been 15 different winners here across the years, with António Félix da Costa and Nick Cassidy tied at the top with three wins each. We’ve also seen a lot of first-time victors here including Felix Rosenqvist, Norman Nato and Stoffel Vandoorne.
HOME RACE HEROES
The 2026 Hankook Berlin E-Prix is also a big event for reigning Teams’ and Manufacturers’ Champions, Porsche.
The team, which houses German 2022/23 Season World Champion Pascal Wehrlein, is also celebrating its 75th motorsport anniversary this year. Current Drivers’ Standings leader Wehrlein has never won in Berlin, but came close last year with second across a weekend where Jaguar TCS Racing won both events.
In addition to Wehrlein, Maximilian Guenther will be looking to replicate his win here from Season 6 at DS PENSKE. The seven-time E-Prix winner has had a tough start to his season, with a best result of sixth from the season-opener in São Paulo, but hopefully he’ll feel the support of the home crowd this weekend.
SEBASTIÉN BUEMI CELEBRATES 150 RACES
After Formula E hit the massive milestone of 150 E-Prix earlier this season in Mexico City, several of our long-standing drivers have also been marking that moment in their career. First was Lucas di Grassi (Lola Yamaha ABT) who has 153 race starts to his name ahead of this double-header weekend, followed by Jean-Éric Vergne (Citroën Racing) on 152 and António Félix da Costa on 150 – marking the occasion with a race win in Madrid.
Buemi is next to reach the 150 race start statistic, having raced in the series since the very first race in Beijing in 2014. He is one of the most successful drivers in Formula E, winning the drivers’ title in Season 2 as well as balancing an incredible endurance career with Toyota and helping Red Bull Racing in the Formula 1 World Championship.
The 14-time E-Prix winner picked up a podium in Jeddah earlier this season, and is fresh from victory in the HyperCar category of the World Endurance Championship in Imola earlier this month.
