Formula E has announced they will race at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in late July 2017.

The site has a nice view of the city skyline, but it looks pretty small for a track layout.
I think the Houston GP had more room.

That's long for a Formula E track. They're so confident in their "fans" that they even made Monaco shorter to stop them suffering from short attention span syndrome.

It won't happen...

Gnam, you're clearly never watched a Formula E race. Most tracks are a combo of a temporary karting track and a WRC downtown super special stage. Brooklyn track does look exceptionally long for Formula E. I watched a couple, it wasn't terrible but all the gimicks (fan boast) are just too much to handle.

Maybe they could sell the track rights to IndyCar? :tony:
