FIA President Jean Todt will meet high officials in Moscow on Tuesday to secure an event of the FIA Formula E Championship that is to be scheduled in June, sources have revealed to ElectricAutosport.com.

The all-electric racing series is looking for a solution as the Rio de Janeiro ePrix was dropped from the inaugural calendar even before the season got under way. Mexico City was one of the names that popped up, but soon possibilities in Moscow became of interest. A second race during the weekend of one of the European events was also considered as a possibility.

To prepare an event in Russia’s capital city is at short notice but a source told ElectricAutosport.com that the ePrix is ‘very likely’ to be confirmed soon.

The race should take place in June between the Berlin event (30 May) and the final round in London (27 June). The location will be in the heart of Moscow near the Red Square and with the Kremlin as its backdrop.
