The Putrajaya ePrix was an annual motorsport event staged on the Persiaran Perdana in Putrajaya, Malaysia, that served as a round of the FIA Formula E Championship.[1] Serving as the second rounds in both the 2014/15 and 2015/16 seasons, the Putrajaya ePrix was subsequently dropped from the FE calendar from the 2016/17 season onward.[2]
City History[]
Originally founded by the British as Air Hitam in 1918, Putrajaya emerged as a candidate to replace the increasingly crowded city of Kuala Lumpur as the capital of Malaysia.[3] In the 1980s, the government announced its intention to develop the former estate as a city, with an emphasis on green spaces.[3] The majority of the Malaysian Government's departments moved to Putrajaya in 2001, with Putrajaya signing a cooperation agreement of Sejong City in South Korea in 2013.[3]
Formula E History[]
The Putrajaya Street Circuit was first proposed in 2013, after Putrajaya secured a deal to host the new FIA Formula E Championship ahead of the inaugural 2014/15 season.[4] The circuit itself was designed by Simon Gibbons, a British architect with several years of circuit planning with the FOM, and was approved in the spring of 2014.[5] The circuit would use the main Persiaran Perdana, otherwise known as the Putrajaya Boulevard, and would run past the Prime Minister's Office.[1]
Putrajaya Performances[]
Nicolas Prost would claim pole for the first Putrajaya ePrix, but was forced down the grid due to a penalty, meaning Oriol Servià actually led off the line.[6] Despite this, Sam Bird claimed victory from Lucas di Grassi and Sébastien Buemi, taking his and Virgin Racing's first victory.[6]
The second running of the race saw Buemi set fastest lap and pole position after dominating the early part of the weekend, only to be hit with overheating issues.[2] That handed victory to di Grassi, with Bird ending the race in second, and Dutchman Robin Frijns finishing third, despite breaking his suspension.[2]
