The Buenos Aires track could be altered next season or a new location found altogether, as its contract with the sport is up for renewal at the end of the season.

Formula E CEO Alejandro Agag as the full intention of renewing the Argentian round for the 2017/2018 season, but there could be some alterations made to the track layout, which may cause the sport to seek a new location within the Puerto Madero region.

The Argentian government are making changes to the local area around the track, which may stop it from hosting any further eprix’s.

Agag is confident that they will be able to find a new location in Buenos Aires to host the race, as the Argentinian capital is an important place to show off the development of electric cars.

“We will work to find another location in Buenos Aires. The two races in Puerto Madero have seen some incredible action and always feature strongly at the end of season highlights reel.

“One of the best things about Argentina is the fans – they are so passionate, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. South America has deep roots in motorsport and many champions across a number of categories, including three-time WTCC champion and DS Virgin Racing driver Jose Maria Lopez. The atmosphere in the city will be incredible for Pechito’s home race – it’s going to be very special,” said Alejandro Agag.

Jose Maria Lopez is looking forward to racing in front of his home fans in February and hopes that the support he gets will ensure that Buenos Aires stays on the calendar for season three.

“I’m very happy to be here finally presenting this race in my country. The motivation and passion for cars continue to grow. The challenges that come from Formula E and all the other things that influence the performance of the electric car. It is important that we are on the calendar for 2018 and I hope I can get a lot of support on fanboost again,” said Lopez.
