2023 Formula E Hyderabad E-Prix: Dates
The Formula E race in Hyderabad will be the fourth round of the 2023 season. The race will be held on Saturday, February 11th, 2023. The event will first feature the qualifying session used to assign grid positions for the race. Once that is out of the way, the next part will be the race a few hours later where some of the biggest automobile brands in the world race against each other.
The track has been designed by Driven International, a firm that’s associated with former Indian F1 driver Karun Chandhok and is behind the recent changes to the Yas Marina Circuit. The track winds through Lumbini Park, and since the area is sparsely populated, the requisite infrastructure and the race itself will not be a cause of concern for the residents.

Sri KT Rama Rao, Hon’ble Minister of IT, Industries, and Municipal Administration & Urban Development, Government of Telangana said:
Mr. Anil Chalamalasetty, the founder of Ace Nxt Gen (the official promoter of the Formula E Race in India), said:
Who will be racing?
11 teams will be racing in this category. Mercedes, the winner of the drivers’ title last season, has left the sport and will be a notable absence. Toto Wolff shared his views on why participation in this racing category is no longer feasible for the German brand. He said:
Regardless, in terms of automotive giants, the racing category even puts F1 to shame. Notable brands like Porsche, Nissan, McLaren, Jaguar, Maserati, and Indian brand Mahindra make the grid one of the most stacked in any motorsport category.
McLaren is one of the latest names to join Formula E. The brand bought out the outgoing Mercedes team and will run its patented Papaya Orange livery this season.
Speaking of drivers, there is no dearth of talent in that aspect either. Former F1 driver and Formula 2 champion Stoffel Vandoorne will be defending his title this season with Penske. The only double world champion in the category and a former Red Bull junior, Jean-Eric Vergne, is a notable addition as well to the Penske lineup.
To add to this, the grid is filled with some electric talent (no pun intended) as drivers like former Mercedes junior Pascal Wehrlein, Mitch Evans, Dan Ticktum, and others test their mettle. In terms of evolution, Formula E has undergone a drastic change in terms of on-track action and the new Gen-3 cars. In terms of introduction, this is an opportune time for the series to make its introduction to the Indian audience.
