If you happen to live in the area don't fret, no public streets are being used for the race. The 13-turn race course does include views of Lower Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty and Governor's Island along the way, so there should be some scenery for spectators to enjoy. This won't be the first time Formula E has raced in the US. Previous events were held in both Miami and Long Beach, California. However, it will be "the first FIA-sanctioned open-wheel race to take place within the five boroughs of New York City in modern history," according to Formula E. The upcoming season kicks off October 9th in Hong Kong with 13 total races scheduled to take place in Africa, Asia, Europe and both North and South America.
