An 11 race schedule for Formula E’s second season has been approved by the World Motor Sport Council.

The season will start on 17 October in Beijing, before heading to Putrajaya, Punta del Este and Buenos Aires in the same order as the first season. Both South American venues are still subject to confirmation, however.

Long Beach provides the only US location of the 2015-16 calendar. The series then heads to Paris for the first time, before revisiting Berlin, Moscow and London.

Mexico was widely expected to be included in the calendar and, while its omission is therefore a surprise, there is a handy space left on the schedule between the South American and US fixtures to insert it at a later juncture.

A date for the London race has yet to be firmed up, too, though the event appears set to be another double-header.
