The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship has confirmed the latest changes to the series 2021 calendar relating to t♏he ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Both the Rome E-Prix and the♈ Valencia E-Prix will be changed to double header events next month, mirroring the season-opening Diriyah E-Prix at the end of February.

Rome will now host Round 3 and 4 of the campaign on 10-11 April at the revised Circuito Cittadino dell’EUR circuit, while Valenica will stage its first-ever Formula E races across♈ 24-25 April.

The scheduled Formula E rookie test, which was originally planned to take place on Sunday 25 April at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo, will no longer go ahead as a direct result of the changes to the calendar🍃.

The April double-headers are the only calendar revi✅sions that have been confirmed by Formula E, but the series said it will issue an update on the rest of the sea💙son shortly.

Formula E said it “will continue to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and is in constant communication with its communit🐎y of teams, manufacturers, partners, broad𝔍casters and host cities.

“All🦩 calendar updates depend on travel restrictions, as well as local government protocols and are subject to approval of the FIA World Motor Sport Council.”

Formula E has already had to make a number of major changes to its troubled 2021 calendar due to the coronavirus pandemic, which forced the planned season-open꧙er in Santiago to be delayed until June, as well as the indefinite postponement of races in Mexic🦋o and Sanya.
