Sydney and Adelaide are believed to be in talks with Formula E about staging a race in Austraila for season three of the championship.

Alejandro Agag recently said that he was talking to a few cities in Australia recently about hosting a race, but it was unclear if he was hoping to secure two cities for next season or secure a venue that gives them the most sustainable option.

Recently Hong Kong was announced by Formula E to hold a race in the 2016/2017 season of Formula E and Agag’s intention is to visit an Australian city before the 2016 year ends.

Adelaide may provide Formula E with a sustainable option as the city already has a street circuit used by V8 Supercars and was more famously used by Formula One. Therefore, the residents are accustomed to seeing Motorsport within their city.

However, Sydney also has a street circuit of their own. The Sydney 500 is based around the former Olympic Park and first held a V8 Supercar race in 2009. Both Adelaide and Sydney tracks are fairly long by Formula E standards, with Adelaide’s shorter circuit being 3.2km and the Sydney 500 is 3.4km.

Sydney also has another ace up it sleeves if there is a battle with Adelaide for the Australian ePrix. Sydney has a permanent race track called Sydney Motorsport Park.

Despite Formula E wanting to race on street circuits where possible, it seems that if the Mexico ePrix happens on the 12th March 2016, then they will use the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez circuit that Formula One will visit later this month.

The Sydney Motorsport Park has plenty of variations that would allow Formula E to use a circuit size of around 2km. The Druitt North circuit can be used which is 2.8km, or the sport can use the Amaroo South circuit that is only 1.8km long.

So it seems that Formula E have a variety of options available to them to host a race in Austrailia. It is believed that negotiations with both of these cities are in the early stages of development.

If Formula E believes that these cities can host a race in a short time frame, they will be implemented onto next years calendar. The Question is will it be one or two Australian ePrix’s.
