Five celebrity drivers who have previous racing experience will be invited to compete with ten veteran drivers, which will surely add to the overall fun and excitement of this much anticipated race.
As is the nature of street circuits, the Hong Kong ePrix circuit will be a demanding race track to test drivers’ speed, talent and racing mettle. Two tight hairpins turns – one at Lung Wo Road and a second at the Star Ferry Pier – feature alongside a 555-metre main straight, a key opportunity for overtaking.
