The decision on the future of the German ePrix is set to be sealed in the next couple of days. The destination for the ePrix is likely to be announced on Friday, 15th January.

As we reported earlier this week, Formula E’s logistical partner DHL needed a decision on the race by the end of January to plan the shipping to Germany.

A spokesperson from the Norisring Street track in Nuremberg believes that they have made solid progress with Formula E about securing the race and that they expect an announcement about the final decision on January 15.

“We have to wait for a few more days before we finally know more”, a Norisring spokesperson told ‘e-formel.de’. “The decision will be made in the next few days. On 15 January hopefully, we should have the decision.”

“We have had positive signals by both the town of Nuremberg and the MCN (Motorsport Club Nuremberg)”, the statement continues.

The Norisring, as well as Munich, are the possible alternative locations for the German ePrix this year.

However, it is still possible to continue the German ePrix in Berlin with an alternative race track being looked at, as the Tempelhof airport has been turned into a camp for up to 5,000 refugees forcing Formula E to look elsewhere.
