The Bern Street Circuit is a street circuit located in the Swiss capital of Bern and is currently used for the Swiss ePrix of the Formula E Championship, which the circuit hosted for the first time on 22 June 2019.[1]

Description

The Bern Street Circuit is the only circuit on the Formula E calendar that necessitates an uphill start (Laubeggstrasse), and features turns and roads with uneven camber from left to right, the steepest downhill section on the entire calendar (Aargauerstalden and Schosshaldenstrasse), as well as a live bear pit, though the bears would be absent during race time. The track also contains tramlines.
