Formula E 2024: Here’s When, Where and How to Watch Mexico City E-Prix in India

The Mexico City E-Prix is this coming weekend, and it will be the first Formula E race in 2024. There is a lot of excitement about Jake Dennis's 2024 Formula E championship defence as the season begins. Since its addition to the Formula E schedule in 2016, Mexico has hosted the season opener for the past two years running. With India's Hyderabad E-Prix cancelled, the 2024 season will feature 16 races and the return of Formula E's most potent cars to the grid. The season will be the second to be run under Gen 3 rules.

With nine of the twenty-two drivers switching teams in 2024, there are a lot of new faces on the field during this second year of Gen 3. This year's race is especially interesting because it features the return of 2021 champion Nyck de Vries, who had a disappointing run with Formula 1's AlphaTauri. De Vries is one of seven Formula E champions on the grid this season, as defending champion Jake Dennis hopes to repeat his season 9 crown.
