Two days of Formula E action in the heart of London will make for a historic weekend that you won’t want to miss, says Jennie Gow, BBC F1 reporter and anchor for ITV’s Formula E coverage.

It seems like a long time ago that Mo Farah, Jessica Ennis and Greg Rutherford dazzled London with their Olympic achievements, on a day so spectacular it quickly became known as “Super Saturday”. London 2012 was a time when the city and country came together to celebrate sport – and that’s exactly what we’re going to do once again. This summer, it will be three years since those jubilant scenes of the 2012 Games, but we now have something equally amazing to look forward to: the streets of our capital city shining with sporting success when Formula E comes to town.

The first season of Formula E won’t be ending with a whimper. Instead, the closing scenes of the series will be played out in a spectacular double header at Battersea Park, in the middle of London, alongside the River Thames and, fittingly, in the shadow of the now-decommissioned Battersea Power station.

Battersea Park’s history makes it particularly apt as the venue for the denouement of the electric championship. Before it became the 200 acre parkland that it is today, the area was known as Battersea fields and was a popular spot for duelling! I’m hoping that the battles for driver and team top spots will be settled in London in much the same way (albeit in a thoroughly sporting manner).

Still, whether or not Battersea Park turns out to be the championship decider, motor racing fans are in for a real treat. It’s not often that you get a chance to see great racing on a city track and interact with top notch drivers. Plus, when was the last time you saw motor racing in London itself?

That’s not all. Battersea Park will feature two races, back to back on successive days. That means a whole weekend of action in June. And, as if that wasn’t enough, the F1 British Grand Prix follows the week after, at Silverstone. It’s going to be motorsport heaven and I can’t wait.

Formula E has been incredibly well received. Bringing the series to London and giving fans the chance to get closely involved will only drive up its popularity. It’s a real chance for fans of Formula E (including me) to shout about it and introduce the new motorsport to a whole new audience. Tell your friends and save the date. Just like 2012, you won’t want to miss out on Super Saturday…or Sunday!
