Alejandro Agag has confirmed today in a press conference that two races will be added to the Formula E calendar next season. Alejandro Agag admitted that they a very close to signing a deal with Paris to host the potential opening round of season two.

It was also revealed that Formula E are looking to branch into every continent of the world in order to make this a fully worldwide championship.

“We are looking at cities that can be ready to host a race in the short term and we are looking to announce the calendar in the next couple of weeks and send it to the FIA World Council in July. It is very likely that we will add two races to the calendar. We are waiting for Paris, so it is not yet confirmed, but we are optimistic and we hope we can race around Paris,” said Alejandro Agag.

Every race that is on the calendar this year will stay for the following season, but there could be some tweaks that Formula E may have to do just in case negotiations breakdown.

“We would like to keep every race from this year. That’s what we hope for and we think we can do that, but we may have to make some tweaks here and there,” said Alejandro Agag.

Jean Todt mentioned that the Middle East and Africa are two places that the championship is looking at to hold a race in the future in order to make the championship a worldwide championship.

“We race in a worldwide championship, but we do not have one in the middle East or in Africa and these are places we want to expand into,” said FIA President Jean Todt.

There are also representatives from Montreal attending this race to try and bring Formula E to the Canadian city, which has competition from Vancouver to bring a race to Canada.
