Formula E to add Hong Kong next year

In Hong Kong, Alvin Sallay wrote Formula E "came to the streets of Beijing" on Sunday. Among the interested observers was Hong Kong Automobile Association President Lawrence Yu Kam-kee, "who is confident the series will come to the streets of Central next year."

Chinese fans packed the main grandstands around the emblematic "Bird's Nest." Some lined the track sides, "carrying children on their shoulders as the futuristic whine of the cars sounded across the track, and techno music added to the atmosphere."

After the race, Yu said that "he was going to try to seal a multi-year contract with organizers to bring a race to Hong Kong." He said, "I want to find out how many years the race will be run in Hong Kong and also nail down the funding." SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST
