Preparations for the third round of the inaugural Formula E season in Punta del Este are nearing completion. The track, which is 2.8km long and features 20 turns, runs along the waterfront and is dubbed as the Monte-Carlo of South America.

Alberto Longo, Managing Director and Deputy CEO of Formula E, visited the popular holiday destination and met with Mayor Martin Laventure ahead of the race on December 13.

City officials demonstrated the progress of the track and other local initiatives, promising an event specifically aimed at car enthusiasts – but only those – as this time it is not just the beautiful beaches that will be centre of attention but a unique race on the streets of Punta del Este.
