What Happened
Nissan Formula E Team will take on the Shanghai International Circuit this weekend in Rounds 12 and 13 of the 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, as the series enters its final six races of the GEN3 era. After last month’s visit to Sanya, this race event marks the first-ever campaign featuring two locations in China, with the country hosting its second and third E-Prixs of Season 12. It will be the third time Formula E has travelled to Shanghai, with Nissan Formula E Team scoring points in three of the four races held at the venue to date.
“We’re happy to be back in China so quickly after the race in Sanya as the country is one of Nissan’s most important markets. It’s also a brilliant opportunity to continue working alongside our joint venture, Dongfeng Nissan, as we did last time out in Sanya. As we arrive in Shanghai, there’s just three race weekends remaining of Season 12, so this one is crucial for the Teams’ and Drivers’ Champio”
“We’ve learnt from what went wrong in Sanya, where we didn’t have the pace in qualifying or the race. Shanghai is a very different layout, I haven’t stood on the podium there before so I’m hoping to put that right this weekend. There’s plenty of overtaking spots on the circuit so qualifying won’t be as important as at other venues.”
Why this matters
This race marks the first Formula E season with two China stops, and the final six races of the GEN3 era, with Nissan aiming to close the championship gap.
