Wednesday, 6 May 2105. Monte Carlo, Monaco. Formula E has arrived in Europe for the final stint of its maiden season and Current E is in hot pursuit.

In fact, Current E has fielded a trackside team at every single race, documenting the sport at every stage of its dash across the globe and watching closely as the new electric series grows up.

Formula E will race around Monaco’s hallowed streets two weeks before F1 arrives. Here are some postcard-style snaps of the under-construction circuit from Current E photographer Dan Bathie, capturing the essence of the historic race venue ahead of the first Formula E race at the venue this Saturday.
