“The primary objective was to design a suitable circuit layout that will have minimum impact on the city, require minimum construction work, cause minimum disruption to general public and traffic, and, crucially, leave a lasting legacy.”
e-Movement has secured the backing of Jaguar South Africa as founding partner for the initial stages of the project in Cape Town, as a potential Formula E candidate host city.
“As a starting point, the preliminary track layout and how it fits into the existing fabric of the precinct – as well as the future development proposals around the identified track – were all key factors in assessing the City of Cape Town’s suitability. Councillor JP Smith, Cape Town Mayco member, welcomed the positive outcome of the feasibility study, saying: “The event is so much more than an E-Prix - it provides an opportunity to position the City of Cape Town and the Western Cape region as the pioneering renewable energy hub of South Africa.
Lisa Mallett, Marketing Director: Jaguar Land Rover South Africa and Sub-Sahara Africa, said, “Jaguar is at the forefront of electric mobility globally, and has made massive strides in electrification right here in South Africa.
