I have just bought tickets for Berlin. Considering the race time, bronze (10€) seems enough for me. Turn 1 might be one of the good spots, too

Looks slightly Mickey Mouse to me. Shame that they couldn't run it in central Berlin! I loved the city and I would like to watch it!

the original plan was to race on the straße des 17. juni near the brandenburger gate but our senate department didn't allow it

Will be fine. Tempelhof will be a cool backdrop. I'd go there if wasn't for my Indianapolis trip.

There is some talk that Season 2 of Formula E might feature a race in Geneva.

There hasn't been racing in Switzerland since 1955.

Interestingly to see the Formula E series getting into a few first like a street race in Britain since 1990 and now with Switzerland since 1955.

Well, is it really that big a deal? Britain has a lot of bike road races and Switzerland never did outlaw hillclimb and rally events.

If I can get some time off by then I will surely drive to Berlin to see them racing!

You are right but guess it can be a big deal when it comes to car racing in those countries for the motorsport fans. No biggie but it is a big deal as I am a big fan of street car racing.

But how does FE count as either?

The ban is funny, iirc it was "renewed" just few years ago.

Technically all motorsport on British roads is banned, even bikes. The only reason Olivers Mount and the North West 200 still run is because they were existing events, there's been nothing 'new' since 1990.

So yeah to us it's a big deal, even if it is glorified milk floats running round a slum parks perimeter road.

I think it was taken down in the last decade.

"On June 6, 2007 an amendment to lift the ban was passed by the lower house of the Swiss parliament.[7] The proposed law failed to pass the upper house, and was withdrawn in 2009 after being rejected twice.[8]"

And an answer to my question: "Switzerland’s National Council recently adopted a motion by MP Fathi Derder, ..., to bring back motor racing (electric vehicle only) back to Switzerland. The new law remains to be confirmed by the Council of States."
