Paris likely to be added in next season's Formula E calendar

FIA Formula E series CEO Alejandro Agag Monday told a press conference in Monaco that Paris is likely to become part of next season's calendar of the all-electric championship.

With Mexico City being another prominent candidate, the FE worlds have been expected to expand by at least two races in 2015- 2016 season.

"We want to define the calendar in the next couple of weeks and we will present this calendar to the FIA World Council in July," said Agag. "It's very likely we will add two races and it's well known that we are waiting for Paris to include in the process."

"Paris is not for the moment done but conversations are ongoing and we are optimistic we hope that we can get a real race," he added.

As a new series promoted by the world motor racing governing body FIA, FE world championship has ten stops in the ongoing first season as Beijing kicked off its inauguration in September 2014.

About the current venues on the calendar, Agag said: "We may tweak that a little bit, but in principle that is the plan."

FIA President Jean Todt mentioned that the series also looks into possibilities to race in Middle East and Africa, and said: " We still have the Middle East which is not covered, Africa is not yet covered, but it is something to happen soon." Endite
