The city's Formula E cancellation has been met with dismay by nissan Motorsport & Customising Company (NISMO). This time last year, hyderabad was the scene of the Formula E craze, with the cars zipping around the track. This year's race, which was scheduled to take place in the vicinity of the Dr. BR Ambedkar telangana State Secretariat, was canceled.
"Hyderabad, we are so disappointed we won't get to race in your beautiful city this season," the auto-tuning firm wrote on instagram on Sunday, february 25. We don't want you to miss out because we are so disappointed.
The firm revealed how to enter and said, "We are giving the chance to a lucky indian fan to win a pair of tickets, flights, and accommodation to the london EPrix in July."
Interestingly, in 2024 the hyderabad E-Prix would have been the only FIA World championship race held in India. Furthermore, it was intended to be a component of a multi-year contract between the telangana government and Formula E.
"The cancellation comes following a decision by the Municipal Administration and Urban Development Department (MAUD), under the control of the telangana Government, not to fulfil the Host City Agreement signed on october 30, 2023," said the official press statement issued by Formula E on january 6. There is now nothing left for Formula E Operations (FEO) to do but formally notify MAUD of their violation of contract. FEO is thinking over its options in light of the Host City Agreement and relevant legal requirements. FEO retains all of its rights in that regard.
