Monaco looks set to be taking a step closer to replacing the Moscow eprix, as discussions between Formula E and the state’s authorities have begun.

Formula E are still waiting on the green light from Moscow, but that light seems to be fading as a resolution has yet to be reached for the Russian event that takes place in a month from today.

The sport only has a few days left to find a solution that would make the Moscow race happen, or they will have to cancel the event and ask the FIA for permission to race around the principality.

Sources close to Formula E Zone have told us that two meetings took place yesterday (3rd May) to discuss bringing the event to Monaco.

The country is looking into the feasibility of hosting three events in the space of a month as the city has the Monaco historic event from the 13-15th May, the Monaco Grand Prix from the 26-29th May and then the Formula E race which would take place on the 4th June.

With less than a month before the Moscow ePrix is scheduled to happen, the sport needs to move quickly if they want to secure Monaco as a replacement. Otherwise, the series will go down to ten races rather than 11.
