Punta del Este Street Circuit is a street circuit first used on 13 December 2014 during the third ePrix of Formula E. It runs along Punta del Este's harbour – nicknamed the Monte Carlo of South America – and is based on the former TC2000 circuit. The track is 2.8 km in length and features 20 turns.[1][2][3]
Modifications
For season two, the circuit was slightly modified. The first corner was changed, instead of a right-left chicane it is now left-right. The idea behind this change is to make the pit exit much safer than last year, where the cars were exiting the pits on the racing line. This also slightly reduced the lap length to 2.785 km.[4]
