The planned Formula E races in New York City and Montreal have swapped dates on a revised calendar for the all-electric series’ third season issued by the FIA on Wednesday.
On the first calendar issued by Formula E over the London ePrix weekend in July, Montreal was slated for July 15-16 with New York set on July 29-30.
The New York race was officially launched last week, but no date was set amid ongoing discussions regarding its best placement.
Following a meeting of the World Motor Sport Council this week, a revised calendar for season three has been revealed with New York moving to the July 15-16 weekend.
Montreal now becomes the season finale on July 29-30, with both races remaining double headers and subject to the track being homologated.
The calendar also sees the removal of the two ‘TBA’ rounds, understood to be Singapore and London, leaving a 12-race calendar set for season three.
The new campaign starts in Hong Kong on October 9.
