The championship battle heads to Shanghai
We are heading to China, and honestly, the stakes could not be higher. The championship fight is truly beginning to bite as the series lands at the world-famous Shanghai International Circuit for the next phase of the 2025/26 season. This track is not for the faint of heart; it is fast, flowing, and completely unforgiving, which is exactly the kind of environment that tends to turn the standings upside down.
The action is packed into a five-day event, bringing us Rounds 12 and 13. Sunday, 5 July is the day that will define the weekend. We start with Free Practice 3 at 06:00 local time (which is Saturday, 4 July at 23:00 BST). The intensity ramps up quickly with qualifying at 08:00 local time on Sunday, followed by the main event, the race, at 12:05 local time.
If you are anything like me, you will be glued to the live timing. Formula E is offering a real-time interactive track map, and you have the ability to track your favorite driver through every single session. It is the best way to watch these machines push the limits of what a street-circuit-style challenge can offer on a purpose-built track.
Beyond the live timing, the official platforms are going to be busy. Expect a steady stream of session reports, exclusive interviews, and behind-the-scenes insights directly from trackside throughout the five-day window. Whether you are catching the broadcast or following the data live, this is set to be a wild ride.
