The São Paulo Street Circuit is a street circuit in São Paulo, Brazil which hosted the São Paulo Indy 300 from 2010 to 2013, and the São Paulo ePrix since 2023.

IndyCar

[edit]

The street circuit race track was laid out in the Santana district. The circuit was along the Sambadrome of Anhembi and utilized portions of the Marginal Tietê service drive. The circuit hosted the São Paulo Indy 300 for four years (2010–2013).

The track was 4.081 km (2.536 mi) long and consisted of 11 turns.[1] Even though it was a temporary circuit, it still had a permanent seating capacity of 30,000 people as it passes through the Anhembi Sambadrome.

Formula E

[edit]

A Formula E race was planned in 2018. However in November 2017, it was announced that the São Paulo ePrix would be postponed to the 2018–2019 Formula E season.[2] After several postponements, the contract was finally signed on 30 April 2022 for 5 years. [3][4]

The site hosted the inaugural São Paulo ePrix in 25 March 2023 as part of the 2022–23 Formula E season.[5] The track has 2.933 km (1.822 mi) length and uses a good part of the original IndyCar circuit.[6][7] The green flag is located inside the Anhembi Sambadrome.[8]
