Monaco E-Prix 2025: A Historic Double-Header in the Heart of the Principality

Monaco, May 3-4, 2025 - In an electrifying weekend that will be remembered for years to come, the 2025 Monaco E-Prix made history with its first-ever double-header format. Celebrating a decade of Formula E racing on the iconic streets of Monte Carlo, the event brought together cutting-edge technology, thrilling competition, and the unmistakable glamour of the Principality.

A Milestone for Formula E
This year's Monaco E-Prix wasn't just another chapter in electric motorsport-it was a bold evolution. Marking the 10th anniversary of Formula E racing in Monaco, organizers introduced two back-to-back races across May 3rd and 4th. The decision proved to be a roaring success, drawing packed crowds and an international spotlight to the harbor-side circuit that once hosted legends of Formula 1.

The full Grand Prix layout was in use, including the famous Casino Square, the tunnel, and the hairpin turns that test the limits of even the most experienced drivers. This was made possible by the debut of the GEN3 EVO-Formula E's latest generation car, which stunned fans and competitors alike with its astonishing acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 1.82 seconds.

Race One: Strategy and Surprise
The first race on Saturday delivered both drama and finesse. Nissan's Oliver Rowland emerged victorious, blending tactical precision with raw pace to secure the top step of the podium. Hot on his heels was Mahindra's Nyck de Vries, who delivered one of his strongest performances since returning to the series. Rounding out the top three was Jake Dennis from Andretti-Porsche, who continues to prove himself as a consistent force in the championship.

A surprise twist came with Taylor Barnard, who had qualified in pole position but struggled during the race and eventually finished 16th. It was a stark reminder of how unforgiving and dynamic street circuits can be-even in the hands of a talented driver.

Race Two: Anticipation Peaks
As engines cooled from Saturday's showdown, excitement only grew for the second race on Sunday. Fans poured into the Allianz Fan Village on Quai Antoine 1er, enjoying a festival-like atmosphere with tech exhibits, simulators, and live performances. With qualifying rounds in the morning, all eyes were on who could adapt fastest and claim the second Monaco win of the weekend.

A Weekend for the Fans-and the Future
More than just racing, the 2025 Monaco E-Prix was a celebration of innovation and community. From eco-conscious exhibits to driver autograph sessions, the event emphasized Formula E's mission to bring fans closer to the sport while championing sustainability.

In just ten years, Formula E has gone from futuristic experiment to premier motorsport fixture. The success of Monaco's first double-header proves that the series is not only growing-it's thriving. With the GEN3 EVO setting new performance benchmarks and cities like Monaco embracing electric racing at its finest, the future of motorsport is not just electric-it's here.
