The London ePrix will disappear from the season three calendar as Formula E have come to an agreement with the Battersea Park Action Group, which will stop The Grade II listed park from hosting a Formula E race after this season.

The race was set to go through a judicial review today or tomorrow, but that review has now been withdrawn as an agreement between the two parties have been reached.

Despite London being contracted to host a race in the 2016/2017 season, which was approved by the Wandsworth Council in November. Formula E has negotiated a deal with the Battersea Action Group to terminate the contract a year early.

With the next World Motorsport Council meeting taking place on the 24th June, Formula E will not have enough time to find an alternative location to host the London ePrix in season three.

However, with London being an important market for Formula E, a new location could be found for season four.The Excel Centre in East London were keen to hold the event last November if the Wandsworth Council decided against the Formula E race in 2016.

The Excel Centre was also Formula E’s backup plan for season one if Battersea Park failed to go through at the first time of asking. The Excel Centre will now be the one of the favourites to bring London back to the Formula E calendar.

A track around the Olympic Park was also an idea that Formula E was looking into, which could be something that is thought about during season three to bring Formula E back to London in season four.

London was seen as blue ribbon event for Formula E and will be something that the sport will look to bring back to the calendar as soon as it can.
