The event, set for April 12 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, replaces the former downtown street circuit with a hybrid "roval" layout that combines technical infield sections and high-speed oval straights—a first in the series’ history. 

For U.S. teams like Andretti, DS PENSKE, and CUPRA KIRO, the race is a critical opportunity to perform in front of a home crowd.

A Historic Return

The last Miami E-Prix was held in 2015 on the Biscayne Bay Street Circuit, a temporary track looping around the American Airlines Arena. The event was dropped from the calendar after logistical challenges, with Formula E later shifting to other U.S. cities like New York and Portland.

This year, the series moved to Homestead-Miami Speedway, a 3.551 km, 15-turn circuit featuring progressive banking on the oval sections, demanding a mix of precision and energy management. The Attack Mode activation zone at Turn 4 adds a strategic layer, while the debut of faster GEN3 Evo cars raises the stakes.

Stakes Are High

Championship leader Oliver Rowland (Nissan) enters Miami with 68 points, aiming to extend his lead over rookie Taylor Barnard (McLaren). For U.S. teams, the pressure is amplified: Andretti, despite its legacy in motorsport, has struggled in Formula E this season, with Jake Dennis scoring 25 points. 

Meanwhile, DS PENSKE’s Jean-Éric Vergne and Maximilian Günther seek to close the gap in the teams’ standings.

The Miami E-Prix isn’t just about points—it’s a chance to reignite American interest in electric racing. With practice sessions already underway, all eyes are on whether an American team or driver can break through.
