FormulaE drivers have praised the new Cape Town circuit which features several high-speed corners and a series of manhole covers.
Formula E's first race in Cape Town has been a"big deal" for South African motorsport, according to Kelvin van der Linde, as the drivers expect an energy-intensive race.The race is situated in the Green Point area of Cape Town, overlooked by the Table Mountain and Signal Hill natural landmarks, with the circuit also featuring a high-speed section along the beachfront.
"Yeah, it's a big deal. And you can kind of see the reception we've had; everyone is so passionate and supportive," van der Linde told Motorsport.com. "I think Cape Town really fits in so well - it's an iconic city, like the places we go to like New York, London and so forth. It really fits in that mould of iconic cities."
