The proposed Hong Kong Formula E circuit will be assessed later this month, reports the South China Morning Post. What’s more, the local organisers are hoping to attract local drivers.
“We have been working on the details for over a year and we did not have to worry about the lack of a proper track, huge initial investment and environmental issues, including the noise level. The coast is clear because these obstacles no longer exist in Formula E racing,” said Lawrence Yu Kam-kee, president of the Hong Kong Automobile Association.
He went on: “Moreover, the track needs for the race are not as stringent as the traditional formula races. That means there is no need to build a course from scratch. I’m hoping to see Hong Kong drivers be part of the race in their hometown.”
Yu explained that the race committee will be arriving in Hong Kong in mid-October to assess the proposed route, “which are the streets along Lung Wo Road by the government offices in Tamar”.
