The FIA Formula E Championship has revealed the circuit location and layout for the Miami ePrix, taking place on March 14, 2015.

The eight-turn, 2.17-km circuit is located in Downtown Miami, Florida, along Biscayne Bay around the streets of the AmericanAirlines Arena, home to the Miami Heat NBA basketball team. Produced by leading track design company Ayesa, it is the setting for the fifth race in the inaugural Formula E season and the first of two events in the United States.

“I’m pleased to be welcoming Formula E to Miami, the location of the first electric single-seater race in America. We are proud to be among the elite group of international cities hosting the FIA Formula E Championship,” said Mayor of Miami Tomas Regalado.

All Formula E events take place in one-day in order to minimize disruption to the city. The race will be organized in collaboration with experienced event company Andretti Sports Marketing.

“We’re delighted to be officially unveiling the circuit for the Miami ePrix, the host for round five of the FIA Formula E Championship. Having two races in the US is very important to us with America’s rich motorsport heritage and the States being such an influential and burgeoning market for electric vehicles,” said Formula E CEO Alejandro Agag.
